by Dahrendorf, Ralf


Terms of use

German sociologist Dahrendorf moved to Britain in 1974, has served as an administrator for prestigious universities, and is now a member of the House of Lords. His 1989 treatise argued that social conflict in modern industrial times stems from the possession of exclusion from power. He offers a complete revision now to reflect how change and conflict in modern times have become more open-ended processes; he admits that he still does not analyze in depth the winners and losers of globalization.
