Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity - Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society
Ulrich Beck
Underpinning this examination of Western societies is the notion of the `risk society'. The changing nature of society's relation to production and distribution is related to the environmental impact as a totalizing, globalizing economy based on scientific and technical knowledge becomes more central to social organization and social conflict.
