What is the global risk society? Can we call this 1990s theory alarmist or rather far-sighted? Has this crisis revealed that we live in a global risk society? In this time of distancing, what role has globalisation played? How do you think the fact that the WHO officially declared a pandemic situation in March 2020 has affected the globalisation process? Are we approaching the end of globalisation?
If you are curious, stay tuned because in this episode we will analyse the situation resulting from the pandemic and the measures adopted to halt its spread within the theoretical framework of the risk society, as defined by the German sociologist Ulrich Beck. We will also highlight an important discrepancy between current reality and theory. And finally, we will look at the state of globalisation today based on the latest DHL Global Connectedness Index report.

We hope you enjoy it and we look forward to hearing your opinion or comments (always with respect). Remember that you can find us on:
