In this work, Giddens offers a new interpretation of the institutional transformations associated with modernity. His main argument is that we do not as yet live in a post-modern world. Rather, the distinctive characteristics of major social institutions in the closing period of the 20th century express the emergence of a period of high modernity, in which prior trends are radicalized rather than undermined.; In his account of the nature of modernity, Giddens concentrates on analyzing the intersections between trust and risk, and security and danger, in the modern world. The trust mechanisms associated with modernity, and the disctinctive risk profile it produces, he argues, are distinctively different from those characteristic of pre-modern social orders.

Heavier and more expensive items have tracking number. Professional and reliable bookseller (est.1987). In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provocative interpretation of the institutional transformations associated with modernity. We do not as yet, he argues, live in a post-modern world. Rather the distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing period of the twentieth century express the emergence of a period of â²high modernity, â² in which prior trends are radicalised rather than undermined. A post-modern social universe may eventually come into being, but this as yet lies â²on the other sideâ² of the forms of social and cultural organization which currently dominate world history. In developing an account of the nature of m...
