Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the insecurity that besets our lives in the contemporary world, revealing it to be a symptom of the crumbling of the notion of security that modernity had sought to guarantee to its citizens. With the emergence of the 'liquid' world, insecurity has become endemic and is accepted as something we must live with, but this acceptance of the risk society does nothing to dispel the fear that accompanies us at all times as a result. An engagement with the thought of Bauman, State of Fear in a Liquid World develops the thesis of liquid modernity and will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social theory and politics.
