The Politics of Risk Society
Overview
The Politics of Risk Society opens a dialogue 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.
