CHOICE Review
The author, a noted sociologist at Cambridge University, begins by critiquing the relevance of socialism, neoliberalism (free market liberalism), and conservatism for a world characterized by globalization, the abandonment of tradition, and pervasive uncertainty stemming from socially manufactured risk. He concludes that socialism has been eclipsed and that neoliberalism and conservatism are seriously limited as explanations for today's socioeconomic conditions. He offers instead an ideology of regenerative politics based on the local life politics of individuals. If the fundamentalist threat is to be overcome, democracy must become dialogic, that is, it should facilitate dialogue based on a mutual trust that will replace the reflexive relativism of a traditionless and uncertain society. Essentially, this is an extended argument for a new, more expansive conception of the political. Although it is rather loosely organized, the book contains useful insights into the difficulties of the welfare state and interesting suggestions as to how to reframe problems posed by poverty, the environment, violence, and economic change.

Anthony Giddens, a British sociologist, was educated at Hull, the London School of Economics, and Cambridge, and is a fellow of King's College, Cambridge. His interests have been varied, but they tend to focus on questions related to the macro-order. Much of his theoretical writing deals with stratification, class, and modernity. Although he has concentrated on dynamic issues of social structure, he has also examined how social psychological concerns are part of this broader order of human relations.(Bowker Author Biography)
