Since the 1980s, Ulrich Beck has worked extensively on his theories
of second modernity and the risk society. In Ulrich Beck, Mads P.
Sorensen and Allan Christiansen provide an extensive and thorough
introduction to the German sociologist's collected works. The book
covers his sociology of work, his theories of individualization,
globalization and subpolitics, his world famous theory of the risk
society and second modernity as well as his latest work on
cosmopolitanism. Focusing on the theory outlined in Beck's chief
work, Risk Society, and on his theory of second modernity, Sorensen
and Christiansen explain the sociologist's ideas and writing in a
clear and accessible way. Largely concerned with the last 25 years
of Beck's authorship, the book nevertheless takes a retrospective
look at his works from the late seventies and early eighties, and
reviews the critique that has been raised against Beck's sociology
through the years. Each chapter of Ulrich Beck comes with a list of
suggested further reading, as well as explanations of core terms.
The book also includes a biography of Beck, and full bibliographies
of his work in both English and German. This comprehensive
introduction will be of interest to all students of sociology,
contemporary social theory, globalization theory, environmental
studies, politics, geography and risk studies.
