The fourth of a four-volume set of textbooks for the UK Open University's course 'Understanding Modern Societies', this book examines the forces reshaping modern industrial societies and the new patterns, structures and relationships that are emerging in the contemporary world. The key debates...include the transformation of Eastern Europe, the collapse of the USSR, globalization, environmental challenge, post-industrialism, cultural change and post-modernism. [It] also looks back to the formation of modern societies, and of social science, to explore the character of 'modernity' and the relationship between 'early-modern' and 'post-modern' societies, and assess whether the paradigms and theories used to analyze 'modern' societies are adequate for social formations today.
