In a fast-changing world, what impact does social change have on
our everyday relationships? How do modernisation processes
influence our broader values, and how might these then affect our
desires to marry, have a family and develop our social networks?
And how do sudden events in a society - invasions, civil conflict,
terrorist attacks, collapse of a political system - influence our
relationship decisions and processes? In this book Goodwin
critically reviews the literature on modernisation and contemporary
relationships, challenging simplistic conclusions about the 'end of
intimacy' and the inevitable decline of personal commitment.
Reviewing work from across the globe, he also contends that
adaptation to rapid change is moderated by individual, social class
and cultural variations, with consequently differing impacts on
everyday relations. In doing so he brings together contemporary
debates in psychology, sociology and the political sciences on
coping with social change and its impact on personal relations.
