Modern societies have been termed risk societies. Western culture
obviously is unable to cope with too much uncertainty. Risk
management has become a paradigm for good governance and prudent
policies. Further sociological analysis reveals that those who
stand in for the fight against risks often turn out to be the ones
who cause them. We therefore not only need to rethink our concepts
of accountability; we also need to sharpen our political tools of
defence against imminent threats.
Since the end of the Cold War the growing integration of the world
markets and the emergence of an international legal system have
dramatically decreased the regulation capacities of the nation
states. "Building a Transnational Civil Society" analyzes
structural crises of globalization processes and demonstrates
chances and limits of actors in transnational civil society and
political movements - in short a new cosmopolitan internationalism.
The areas of investigation are new economic developments, old and
new social movements and the reality of wars and humanitarian
intervention.
