Environmental risk: Ulrich Beck’s contribution
Main Article Content
Abstract
The essay focuses on the context called Reflexive Modernity, to explain why and how environmental risk is characteristic of the so-called “new societies”. It discusses why sociology approaches have a fresh and purposeful vision to explain the environmental degradation as a new way of doing politics. This theoretical and political perspective on environmental risk is revised from the perspective of the German sociologist, recently deceased, professor Ulrich Beck.
