Description
Summary:
This book sheds new light on the complexity of today's society. Feelings of chaos and confusion are common. There is discontent among citizens, and uncertainty and lack of direction among administrators, managers, and public officials. It seems as though no one has a clear perspective on what is happening to society, and yet... perhaps we have overlooked something? Hans Boutellier delivers a realistic and inspiring picture of a new social order. His book deals with identity and rage, values and norms, participation and integration, and law and security. It offers a broad, well-founded, and constructive vision of contemporary society.
