In this book one of Europe's foremost sociologists offers a
profound and accessible overview of the trajectory of European
societies, East and West, since the end of World War II. Combining
theoretical depth with factual analysis, Goeran Therborn addresses
the questions that underpin an understanding of the nature of
European modernity, including: To what extent is the period
1945-2000 producing fundamental change and what are the areas of
continuity? Have the societies of Europe become more similar to
others on the globe or more distinctively European? What are the
prospects of Europe after decades of postwar change and the end of
the Cold War? Issues covered include the division of paid and
unpaid labour, patterns of rights in different social spheres, the
development of mass consumption, the evolution of risks, the
spatial range of economic and cultural change, collective memory
and identities, the geography of happiness, and modes of collective
action. The author relates these issues to the two great social
steering projects of the period - socialism in the East and the
European Union in the West.
