The Risk Society and Beyond: Critical Issues for Social Theory

Description

Ulrich Beck's Risk Society established risk on the sociological agenda. It brought together a wide range of issues centering on environmental, health and personal risk, provided a rallying ground for researchers and activists in a variety of social movements and acted as a reference point for state and local policies in risk management.

The Risk Society and Beyond charts the progress of Beck's ideas and traces their evolution. It demonstrates why the issues raised by Beck reverberate widely throughout social theory and covers the new risks that Beck did not foresee, associated with the emergence of new technologies, genetic and cybernetic. The book is unique because it offers both an introduction to the main arguments in Risk Society and develops a range of critical discussions of aspects of this and other works of Beck. The book includes a reply to his critics from Beck himself.

The book is the most comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the implications of risk society that is currently available. It will be essential reading for students in the social and political sciences, environmental studies, media and cultural studies and philosophy.
