The Reflexive Imperative in Late Modernity Hardback - Hardcover

'In critiquing the theory of reflexive modernity, Archer provides a valuable service in questioning such a focus ... This is an important and welcome critique insofar as it argues, in contrast to reflexive modernization theory, that structural and cultural changes are behind this trend.' Jonathan Joseph, Journal of Critical Realism
