In this important new book Alain Touraine ¿ the leading sociologist and social theorist ¿ attacks the positions of the neoliberals and certain thinkers on the left and develops an alternative view of the tasks for political thought and action today. He argues that the globalization of the economy has not dissolved our capacity for political action, and that the actions of the most underprivileged sections of society are not restricted to rebellion against domination: they can also demand rights (in particular, cultural rights), and can therefore put forward an innovative and not merely critical conception of society and its future. Rather than having to choose between the defence of existing institutions or rebellion against them, we have to recognize and revitalize a public space that can reconcile social conflicts with the will to integrate.
