The book offers an in-depth analysis of Ulrich Beck's evolving theories on the risk society, spanning from his initial concepts in 1986 to his final ideas before his death in 2015. It outlines four key phases of his work: the original risk society, the world risk society, cosmopolitanism, and the later theories of metamorphosis and global imagined risks. Through Beck's lens, the text explores how his insights help us navigate the complexities of modern societal challenges, including climate change, terrorism, and global crises.
