Features: In recent years, globalization theory has become increasingly popular. Its main representative, sociologist Ulrich Beck, does not simply advocate for globalization but rather questions and critiques Western traditional modernization theory. Ulrich Beck, a renowned German sociologist and professor at the University of Munich, has long been engaged in research on social development and globalization. He has written extensively in this field, proposing many original insights and concepts, forming his own theory and becoming a highly accomplished expert in globalization theory. This book, presented in a dialogue format and following Beck's recent research, systematically reveals the challenges faced by mainstream Western concepts and institutions in the era of globalization and their prospects. This is highly beneficial for systematically understanding globalization and its related major issues, and it also helps broaden readers' perspectives on thinking about globalization.
