--Professor Scott Lash, Lancaster University
Ecological politics has moved to the centre of the political stage today. But what motivates ecological concerns? How should we understand "nature" when nothing around us seems "natural" anymore? How should we interpret, and react to, the risks we now face in respect of the "environment"?
This book, which created a massive public debate when first published in Germany, analyses these issues in a way that is new and very different from the conventional literature.
Drawing upon ideas developed in his celebrated work, Risk Society, Beck establishes the foundations of an original and far-reaching analysis of modern politics. Ecological concerns as ordinarily understood, he shows, are only one part of a renewed engagement with the domain of "sub-politics" generated by the social and technological changes affecting our lives in a much more revolutionary way than anything emanating from the formal political sphere.
This pathbreaking work will be of interest to all students and professionals in the areas of political theory, sociology and ecological studies.
