'Before the current global era it is impossible to imagine that
comparable events [like September 11] could have occurred, reflecting
as they do our new-found interdependence. The rise of global
terrorism, like world-wide networks involving in money-laundering,
drug-running and other forums of organised crime, are all parts of the
dark side of globalisation.' From the new Preface This book is based
on the highly influential BBC Reith lecture series on globalisation
delivered in 1999 by Anthony Giddens. Now updated with a new chapter
addressing the post-September 11th global landscape, this book remains
the intellectual benchmark on how globalisation is reshaping our
lives. The changes are explored in five main chapters: * Globalisation
* Risk * Tradition * Family * Democracy.
