책소개

이 책은 울리히 벡의 「Was ist Globalisierung?(지구화란 무엇인가?)」를 우리 말로 옮긴 것이다. 우리나라에서 그는 제3의 길을 주장한 기든스와의 공동작업으로 대중적인 주목을 받았다.

이 책에서 울리히 벡은 지구화(역자는 보통 '세계화'로 번역하는 'Globalization'을 '지구화'로 번역한다.)의 과정이 어떻게 일어나고 있으며, 바람직한 지구화를 위한 방향은 무엇인지를 제시하고자한다. 여전히 논쟁적인 지구화라는 현대의 방향을 일면적으로 부정하거나 혹은 맹목적으로 추종하는 것이 아니라, 지구화의 의의를 기본적으로 인정하는 가운데 지구화가 가지는 문제들을 극복하기 위해서는 어떠한 대안이 필요한가를 말하고자하는 것이다.

이를 위하여 울리히 벡은 지구화에 대한 다양한 논자들의 주장을 비판적으로 검토한다. 그리고 이들 논의를 종합하는 가운데 지구화가 양상과 그 본질은 무엇인지에 대해서 정리한다. 여기서 저자는 생태파괴, 국민국가의 무력화, 초국민적 기업의 등장, 국제적 조직체와 같은 새로운 정치 행위자의 대두, 초국민적 커뮤니케이션의 부상, 초국민적 문화와 생활양식 등으로 인하여 지구화는 이전과는 다른 근대(제2의 근대)를 요구한다고 말한다.

한편, 울리히 벡은 신자유주의적으로 추진되는 과정은 '지구주의'라는 경제주의적 이데올로기라고 비판한다. 지구화란 반드시 경제적 지구화를 의미하는 것만은 아니며, 국가 개입과 국가 규제의 최소화가 필연적인 방향은 아니라고 말한다. 그럼 울리히 벡의 대안은?

지구화에 대한 응답으로서 다양한 대안을 제시한다. 국민국가의 변화로서 초국민적 국가 모델, 교육사회와 지식사회의 구축과 개발을 위한 교육과 연구에 대한 투자의 강화, 초국적 기업을 제어하기 위한 소비의 정치화, 공공노동과 시민노동의 강화, 수출입국(輸出立國)이 아닌 새로운 문화적/정치적/경제적 목표의 설정, 공중기업가와 자가 노동자라는 대안적 생활 방식의 계발, 배제에 반대하는 사회계약 등이 그것이다.

국민국가에 얽매이지 않는 초국적 기업의 활동, 개인들의 다면적인 국적성 등은 국민국가를 약화시킬 수밖에 없는데, 이에 대하여 초국민적 국가라는 대안이 필요함을 주장한다. 이는 유럽의 '브라질화'를 피하기 위한 대안으로 제시된다. 말하자면 국민국가의 해체와 함께 상이한 사회적 세력들로 분할되어 지배되는 우울한 시나리오를 피하기 위한 대안이 필요하다는 문제제기이다. 또 한편으로는 이러한 위로부터의 대안과 함께 아래로부터의 대안으로서 지구적 시민운동이라 부를 수 있는 것이 필요함을 역설한다.

전체적으로 이 책은 책의 제목과 부제처럼 지구화의 길이 새로운 문명의 가능성을 연다는 것을 이야기하고 있으며, 그렇다면 그 가능성을 현실성으로 만들기 위해서는 어떠한 대안이 필요할 지를 제기하는 것이 이 책의 목적이라 할 수 있다. 울리히 벡은 지구화 과정에 대한 구체적 인식과 상상력 넘치는 전망을 결합시키는 과정을 이 책에서 보여주고 있다.

책속에서
지구성과 지구화는 모든 사람들에게 세계시장이라는 새로운 자연 법칙에 복종할 것을 요구하고 강요할 수 있을 만큼 그렇게 충분한 근거를 갖춘 개념도 아니다. 여기서는 흔히 지나치곤 하지만 반드시 반복해서 말해야할 사실이 있다. 지구성의 시대와 함께 정치의 조종(弔鐘)이 울리는 것이 아니라 오히려 정치의 새로운 출발이 이루어지고 있다는 사실이 바로 그것이다.  접기

지구화 또한 성찰적인가? 새창으로 보기 구매
지구화 혹은 세계화는 무엇인가? 우리는 흔히 신자유주의가 세계화인양 생각하는 경향이 많다. 하지만 신자유주의는 세계화의 한 측면일 뿐이다. 세계화는 정치, 경제, 문화, 사회 등 전반적인 측면에서 시·공간적으로 확산되는 과정이다. 이 과정 속에는 초국민적 행위자, 초국민적인 네트워크가 움직이고 있다.

울리히 벡은 <지구화의 길>에서 이런 세계화에 대한 이론적, 실제적, 모순적, 대응적 측면들을 제시해준다. 특히 우리에게 '성찰적 근대화'로 잘 알려진 울리히 벡은 세계화에 대해서도 성찰적인 측면을 제시하면서 자기 나름대로의 지구화의 측면을 제시한다. 즉 세계화란 지역적 측면의 확산과 동시에 지역적 측면의 고수를 동시에 포함한다고 제시한다.

이런 측면은 세계화를 모든 측면에서 무조건적인 확산이나 폐쇄처럼 이분법적으로 보는 것이 아닌 이 두 측면을 동시에 보고 있다. 이것은 근대의 근대 같은 성찰적 근대처럼 세계화의 세계화를 보는 것이라 할 수 있다. 이런 설명을 통해 그는 지구지역화라는 로버트 슨의 이론을 바탕으로 하고 있다고 할 수 있다.

또한 세계화 속의 주권 문제에 대한 그의 날카로운 시각은 우리로 하여금 놀라게 만든다. 내포적 주권이라는 말로 세계화 속의 주권을 설명하고 있는데, 이 내포적 주권이란 초국민적 국가를 모델을 통하여 세계적 협력을 함과 동시에 국가 주권의 공간을 확보한다는 것이다. 곧 협력적인 유기적 주권이란 것이다. 어떻게 보면 애매한 이 말의 포인트는 주권의 이중성을 이해하면 쉬울 것이다. 곧 대내적 주권과 대외적 주권의 통합을 통해 대내적·대외적 주권이 유기성을 지닌 다는 것이다.

세계화에 대한 그의 이론은 이론적인 측면에서만 그치는 것이 아닌 독일 내의 세계화에 대한 대처 움직이나 그에 대한 방안을 제시함으로써, 한국에게도 나름대로의 해법을 제시해주고 있다. 예를 들면, 유럽의 만성적 문제인 실업이나 교육 문제에 대해 그 만의 독특한 해법을 제시해주는 데서 볼 수 있다.

이런 그의 생각들은 오늘날 세계화에 대한 말만 외치며 그에 대한 어떠한 실질적 연구도 없는 우리에게 많은 시사점을 던져준다. 특히, 세계화라는 말을 사용하고 인용하면서도 그에 대한 체계적인 연구서 조차 없는 우리 현실을 자각하게 만든다.

전체적으로 볼 때, 이 책은 울리히 벡의 이론인 성찰적 근대화론이 깊숙히 박혀 있기 때문에, 그의 이전 저작들을 읽으면서 이 책을 읽는다면 그가 말하고자 하는 세계화를 훨씬 수월하게 이해할 수 있을 것이다.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'The primary virtue of Beck's book lies in its helpful and comprehensive mapping of the various contours of the broad debates about globalization ... As would be expected from a sociologist of the stature of Beck, this is a fascinating , eclectic book where an illuminating empirical example is never very far away.' Democractization
'This introduction to the thorny path of the globalization debate aims to clarify the ambiguities of the debate, distinguish between the various types of globalization, and warn the reader of conceptual traps.' Business Horizons

--This text refers to the hardcover edition.
From the Inside Flap
This important new book offers an engaging and challenging introduction to the thorny paths of the globalization debate. Beck aims to clarify the ambiguities of the debate, to distinguish between the various types of globalization and to warn the reader of conceptual traps. Most importantly, however, he opens up the horizon for political responses to globalization.

Beck focuses on two main questions: what does globalization mean? and how can it be moulded politically? He begins by examining the ambivalences and paradoxes of globality and globalization, with regard to society, economics, politics, ecology and culture. He sets out the rival perspectives in the globalization debate and assesses the prospects for a transnational state. Central to the book is Beck's argument that a decisive critique of globalism is necessary to make space for the primacy of politics. In the last section, he offers a series of constructive proposals to counter the current paralysis of politics, suggesting ten ways of addressing and answering the challenges of the global age. The book concludes by conjecturing that if our politicians do not respond creatively to the challenge, we will experience what Beck calls 'the Brazilianization of Europe'.


This book will be an important text for students and scholars in politics, sociology, geography and the social sciences generally. It will also appeal to a broader audience interested in key social and political issues in the world today.

NationalityGerman
OccupationSociologist

Ulrich Beck (15 May 1944 – 1 January 2015) was a well known German sociologist, and one of the most cited social scientists in the world during his lifetime.[citation needed] His work focused on questions of uncontrollability, ignorance and uncertainty in the modern age, and he coined the terms "risk society" and "second modernity" or "reflexive modernization". He also tried to overturn national perspectives that predominated in sociological investigations with a cosmopolitanism that acknowledges the interconnectedness of the modern world. He was a professor at the University of Munich and also held appointments at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH) in Paris, and at the London School of Economics.

Life[edit]

Ulrich Beck in his flat in Munich, 1999

Beck was born in the Pomeranian town of StolpGermany (now Słupsk in Poland), in 1944, and grew up in Hanover. He began university studies with a focus on law at Freiburg, and from 1966 onwards studied sociologyphilosophypsychology and political science at the University of Munich. Starting in 1972, after earning a doctorate, he was employed at Munich as a sociologist. In 1979 he qualified as a university lecturer with a habilitation thesis. He received appointments as professor at the universities of Münster (1979–1981) and Bamberg (1981–1992). From 1992 until his death, Beck was professor of sociology and director of the Institute for Sociology at the University of Munich. He received numerous international awards and honors, including election to the Council and Executive Board of the German Society for Sociology.

From 1995 to 1997 he was a member of the Kommission für Zukunftsfragen der Freistaaten Bayern und Sachsen (Bavarian and Saxon State Commission for Questions Concerning the Future). Beginning in 1999, he was the speaker of the DFG research programme on reflexive modernity.

From 1999 to 2009 Beck was a spokesman of the Collaborative Reflexive Modernization Research Centre 536, an interdisciplinary consortium of four universities in the Munich area funded and overseen by the German Research Foundation (DFG).[2] Beck's theory of interdisciplinary reflexive modernization on a basis of a wide range of topics in appropriate research was empirically tested. The theory of reflexive modernization works from the basic idea that the rise of the modern industrial age produces side-effects across the globe that provide the institutional basis and coordinates that modern nation-states question, modify, and open for political action.[3]

He was active as sociologist and public intellectual in Germany and throughout the world, regularly intervening in debates on the European Union, climate change and nuclear energy. At the time of his death, he and his international research group were only 1.5 years into the 5-year research project "Methodological Cosmopolitanism – in the Laboratory of Climate Change" (the Cosmo-Climate Research Project), of which Beck was the Principal investigator. For this research project he received the prestigious ERC Advanced Grant, scheduled to terminate in 2018.[4] Along with Beck, sociologists David Tyfield and Anders Blok lead work packages within the overall project.[5] The project also fostered international research collaboration with various research 'hubs' in East Asia through the Europe-Asia Research Network (EARN).[6] In cooperation with EARN, Beck and sociologist Sang-Jin Han had been set to lead a 2-year project for the Seoul Metropolitan Government beginning in 2015.[7]

Beck was a member of the Board of Trustees at the Jewish Center in Munich and a member of the German branch of PEN International.

He was married to the German social scientist Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim. He died of a myocardial infarction on 1 January 2015, at the age of 70.[8]

Research contributions[edit]

For 25 years, Beck delivered new diagnoses to the following question: How can social and political thought and action in the face of radical global change (environmental destruction, financial crisis, global warming, the crisis of democracy and the nation-state institutions) be intertwined in a new modernity?[9] A radicalized modernity, for Beck, attacks its own foundations. Institutions such as the nation-state and the family are globalized 'from the inside'.

Beck studied modernization, ecological problems, individualization and globalization. Later in his career, he embarked on exploring the changing conditions of work in a world of increasing global capitalism, declining influence of unions and flexibilisation of the labour process, a then new theory rooted in the concept of cosmopolitanism. Beck also contributed a number of new words to German and anglophone sociology, including "risk society", "second modernity", reflexive modernization and Brazilianization (Brasilianisierung).[citation needed] According to Beck, all contemporary political thinking emanates from the methodological nationalism of political thought and sociology (and other social sciences).[10]

Risk society was coined by Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens during the 1980s. According to Beck and Giddens, the traditional industrial class structure of modern society is breaking apart. Globalization creates risks that concern people from all different classes; for example, radioactivity, pollution, and even unemployment. Affluent households act to insulate themselves from these risks, but cannot do so for some; for example global environmental change. The poor suffer them. He points out that risks are also socially constructed and some risks are perceived as more dangerous because they are discussed in mass media more frequently, such as terrorism. Risk society leads to analysis of risks, causing prejudgment.[11]

Beck was the editor of the sociological journal, Soziale Welt [de] (in German, since 1980), author of some 150 articles, and author or editor of many books.

The Spinelli Group[edit]

On 15 September 2010, Beck supported the European Parliament's Spinelli Group initiative to reinvigorate federalism in the European Union. The Union of European Federalists and its youth organisation Young European Federalists have been promoting the idea of European federalism for over 60 years, with a "belief that only a European Federation, based on the idea of unity in diversity, could overcome the division of the European continent".[12] Prominent supporters of the initiative include Jacques DelorsDaniel Cohn-BenditGuy VerhofstadtAndrew Duff and Elmar Brok.[citation needed]

Awards[edit]

  • 1996 City of Munich Cultural Prize of Honour
  • 1999 CICERO speaker price award
  • 1999 German-British Forum Award for outstanding service to German-British relations (together with Anthony Giddens)[13]

  • 2005 Schader Prize, the most prestigious award for social scientists in Germany
  • 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Contribution to Future Research of the International Sociological Association[14]
  • In 2013 he received an ERC advanced grant to carry out the Cosmo-Climate Research Project (Methodological Cosmopolitanism: In the Laboratory of Climate Change), with David Tyfield and Anders Blok amongst others.
  • Honorary doctorates (8): University of Jyväskylä, Finland (1996), University of Macerata,Italy (2006), University of Madrid (UNED), Spain (2007), Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (2010), University of Lausanne, Switzerland (2011), Free University of Varna, Bulgaria (2011), University of Buenos Aires, Argentina (2013), St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Bulgaria (2013).[15]
