This book introduces the impassabilites of the debate on globalisation in a trenchant and explanatory way – its polyvalence, its ambiguity, its (rarely differentiated) dimensions; it aims to reveal possible thought traps and make them avoidable, but first and foremost, it aims at opening the field of discourse for political answers to globalization. The centre stage is taken – plain and difficult – by the twofold question: What does globalization mean and how is it shaped by politics?
»Ulrich Beck’s book serves as a warning and an instruction to confronting the dangerous social, political, economical and cultural aberrations of globalisation. And so this book is useful to all those who are responsible for the future shaping of our society; it’s also useful to all those who want to question, defuse and understand the emotive word ›globalisation‹. Because sooner or later, everybody is going to be confronted with the subject – as a consumer, as a politically active citizen or as a person who is out of work.« Norddeutscher Rundfunk
