World At Risk by Ulrich Beck
The book argues that contemporary societies face new, manufactured risks—from nuclear hazards and ecological crises to global terrorism and financial instability—that transcend national borders and traditional institutions; these globalized risks expose the limits of industrial modernity, produce new forms of inequality in who is exposed and who is protected, and demand a reflexive, cosmopolitan politics and new transnational governance to manage uncertainty and remake democratic life.
