We live in a runaway world. New patterns of risk and uncertainty
threaten the stability of our traditional institutions. To make
sense of these profound changes in our lives, and invent new
politics for the twenty-first century, we must understand the
dynamic forces which are transforming our society.
"The Politics of Risk Society "opens a dialog between Ulrich
Beck's sociology of "Risk Society "and key thinkers and opinion
leaders from the world of politics and policy making. It explores
the way we perceive risk and integrate change into our lives -
insisting that these are essential forces driving policy
development today.
A new politics must engage actively with people's lived
experience. Contributions from Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens, Susie
Orbach, John Gray, Ray Pahl, Martin Woollacott, Anna Coote,
Patricia Hewitt and others explore the daily experience of risk -
from intimate relationships to global warming - and offer their
analysis and insight into how we understand this changing
world.
This book captures part of the spirit of the age and will be of
absorbing interest to students of sociology, politics and social
policy.
