Product Description
Review
–– Millennium: Journal of International Studies
"A critical and dispassionate account of ecological threats that are wealth–driven, poverty–driven, or are owed to nuclear, biological and chemical means of mass destruction; a powerful discourse on risk calculation and insurability that permeates the book in an almost metaphorical sense; and, as a bonus for the disappointed student of socialist political economy, a poignant if implicit refutation of liberal economics and rational choice theory as meaningful explanatory tools of reality."
–– Canadian Journal of Political Science
′This challenging collection of essays by one of the major social theorists of our time is essential reading for anyone interested to get to know the breadth of Ulrich Beck′s work on the ′Risk Society′. Addressing academics and policy makers, Beck analyses the impact of the ′World Risk Society′ on the environment and considers the implications of this globalization of ′organized irresponsibility′ for socio–political and economic action. World Risk Society is social theory at its contemporary best: powerful, engaged and socially relevant.′
–– Barbara Adam, Cardiff University
