In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provocative interpretation of institutional transformations associated with modernity. What is modernity? The author suggests, "As a first approximation, let us simply say the following: 'modernity' refers to modes of social life or organization which emerged in Europe from about the seventeenth century onwards and which subsequently became more or less worldwide in their influence." We do not as yet, the author argues, live in a post-modern world. The distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing...

Europe in the Global Age
ISBN: 9780745640129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Europe's social model - its system of welfare and social protection - is regarded by many as the jewel in the crown. It is what helps to give the European societies their distinctive qualities of social cohesion and care for the vulnerable. Over recent years, however, the social model has come under great strain in many states within the European Union - unemployment, for example, remains stubbornly high. The resulting tensions have fuelled dissatisfaction with the European project as a whole, culminating in the rejection of Europe's proposed new constitution.

During the 1990's, left of centre governments or coalitions came into power in the US, many of the European Union countries, and in societies elsewhere too.

The Nation-State and Violence: Volume 2 of a Contemporary Critique of Historical Materialism
ISBN: 9780520060395 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The social sciences have long been based upon contrasts drawn between the 'militaristic' societies of the past, and the 'capitalist' or 'industrial' societies of the present. But how valid are such contrasts, given that the current era is one stamped by the impact of war and by the intensive development of sophisticated weaponry?
In setting out to address this and similar questions, this book investigates issues that have been substantially neglected by those working in sociology and social theory. Anthony Giddens offers a sociological analysis of the nature of the modern nation-state and...

The Third Way and Its Critics
ISBN: 9780745624495 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has become a focus of discussion across the world. Political leaders, in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America claim to be following its principles. Yet the notion has also attracted much criticism. Some say it is an empty concept without any real content. Critics from the more traditional left argue that it is a betrayal of left-wing ideals.
Anthony Giddens's The Third Way (Polity Press, 1998) is regarded by many as the key text of third way politics. Translated into twenty-five languages, it has shaped the development of...

Transformation of Intimacy: Sexuality, Love, and Eroticism in Modern Societies
ISBN: 9780804722148 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The sexual revolution: an evocative term, but what meaning can be given to it today? How does "sexuality" come into being, and what connections does it have with the changes that have affected personal life more generally? In answering these questions, the author disputes many of the dominant interpretations of the role of sexuality in modern culture. The author suggests that the revolutionary changes in which sexuality has become cauth up are more long-term than generally conceded. He sees them as intrinsic to the development of modern societies as a whole and to the broad characteristics of...

Anthony Giddens' The Third Way had a far-reaching impact upon the evolution of New Labour in the UK, and upon left of centre policies in many other countries too. Today, nearly a decade later, Labour stands again at a decisive point in its history. A change of leadership can help reinvigorate the party, but winning a fourth term of government will be impossible without reinvigorating Labour's ideological position and policy outlook.
What form should these innovations take? The author argues that the core emphases that have sustained Labour's hold over power for three successive... Anthony Giddens' The Third Way had a far-reaching impact upon the evolution of New Labour in the UK, and upon left of centre policies in many o...

A "United States of Europe," Winston Churchill proposed in 1946, could "as if by a miracle transform" that "turbulent and mighty continent."

Central Problems in Social Theory: Action, Structure, and Contradiction in Social Analysis
ISBN: 9780520039759 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this new and brilliantly organized book of essays, Anthony Giddens discusses three main theoretical traditions in social science that cut across the division between Marxist and non-Marxist sociology: interpretive sociology, functionalism, and structuralism. Beginning with a critical examination of the importance of structuralism for contemporary sociology, the author develops a comprehensive account of what he calls "the theory of structuration." One of the main themes is that social theory must recognize, as it has not done hitherto, that all social actors are knowledgeable about the...
