About the Author
Prof Ulrich Beck was a German sociologist and influential thinker whose work reshaped discussions of modernity, globalization, inequality, and environmental danger. Best known for developing the concept of the “risk society,” he examined how technological progress and political change create new forms of uncertainty that cross national borders. His writing connected rigorous social analysis with urgent questions about everyday life, democratic responsibility, and the future of the planet. In World at Risk, Beck explored the global consequences of manufactured hazards and argued for new ways of understanding cooperation and shared vulnerability.
