Více o knize

Beck's theory of the (world) risk society is explored through four key phases, detailing his evolving ideas from 1986 until his death in 2015. The book delves into his original theory, the concept of a world risk society, cosmopolitanism, and the later developments of metamorphosis and global imagined risk communities. It highlights how Beck's framework provides a new perspective for understanding the complexities and uncertainties of modern society, addressing issues such as climate change, terrorism, pandemics, economic instability, and migration.
