Resumen

• How can we link contemporary social processes – which have typically been theorized in terms of the concept of modernity – with contemporary social movements, conflicts, and mobilizations which aim at social change?.

  This text links the social theory of modernity to critical theory and to recent class and citizenship politics as well as to identity politics. It:

  - Uses concrete social processes to illustrate theoretical discussion with relevant empirical studies.

  - Applies theoretical analysis to different interactions, tensions and possibilities to provide an integrated understanding of global modernity and social contestation.

  - Includes contributions from distinguished international scholars working in sociological theory and modernity, as well as social movement studies and political contestation, with a strong emphasis on global issues.

  This is a key resource for research in both social theory and the sociology of modernity, as well as social movements and social contestation, and readers interested in globalization and global studies.
