Esta forma históricamente única y singular de crear una comunidad de sociedades y Estados distintos se sustrae a todas las categorías y conceptos al uso. El ejemplo de Europa muestra con especial claridad hasta qué punto nuestros conceptos políticos y el instrumental teórico de...

Nazione, religione e violenza, un triangolo fatale ha caratterizzato il XIX secolo ed è culminato nelle esperienze delle guerre mondiali del XX. A questi pericoli, tutt'altro che svaniti, si sono sovrapposti, rafforzandoli, i fantasmi di una possibile guerra atomica e, in generale, della società globale del rischio. Oggi il mondo globalizzato presenta zone di conflitto sociale e religioso molto più estese e diffuse che in passato: c'è minore a...

This first English edition has taken its place as a core text of contemporary sociology alongside earlier typifications of society as postindustrial and current debates about the social dimensions of the postmodern. Underpinning the analysis is the notion of the 'risk society'. The changing nature of society's relation to production and distribution i...

Individualization argues that we are in the midst of a fundamental change in the nature of society and politics. This change hinges around two processes: globalization and individualization. The book demonstrates that individualization is a structural characteristic of highly differentiated societies, and does not imperil social cohesion, but actually makes it possible. Ulrich Beck and Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim argue that it is vital to disting...

He starts from the assumption that the ecological issue, considered politically and sociologically, is a systematic, legalized violation of fundamental civil rights and, from this position, adduces that the ecological conflict, politically speaking, is the successor to the industrial conflict.One of his central concerns is to illustrate just how the establishment, but expressing as much concern o...

Ulrico Beck deve in gran parte la sua fama al fatto di essere stato il primo sociologo a porre in rilievo la centralità che il rischio avrebbe avuto nella nostra vita sociale e politica. Che rischio e globalizzazione scardinassero non solo il tradizionale ordine mondiale, ma che aprissero una fase di perdita di sovranità nazionale e conseguentemente di inadeguatezza di tutte quelle istituzioni multilaterali che da quelle nazionalità traevano f...

Reflexive modernization, or the way one kind of modernization undercuts and changes another, has wide ranging implications for contemporary social and cultural theory, as this provocative book demonstrates.

What if its own necessities, functional principles and fundamental concepts are undermined, broken up and demystified with the same ruthlessness as were the supposedly eternal truths of earlier epochs? These quest...
