New Paradigm for Understanding Today's World cover

  • Touraine is one of the leading social thinkers in the world today and many of his books have been published in English.
  • In this book Touraine presents a new theoretical framework for understanding the contemporary world. It is a broad theoretical work which seeks to make sense of everyday experience at the beginning of the 21st century.
  • This is a major new theoretical work by one of the leading sociologists in the world today.
  • A great reference book for those studying sociology and social theory at any level.

"How rare it is that one of the world's most original social theorists writes a book so plain and important that it could be used as an introductory text for first-year students. Alain Touraine's New Paradigm should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand today's world as it is coming to be."
