Description

"In this completely revised second edition of The Modern Social Conflict, Ralf Dahrendorf explores the basis and substance of social and class conflict. Ultimately, the finds that conflicts are fundamentally about enhancing life chances; that is, they concern the options people have within a framework of social linkages, the ties that bind a society, which Dahrendorf calls Ligatures. The book offers a concise and accessible account of conflict's contribution to democracies, and how these democracies must change if they are to retain their political and social freedom. This completely revised second edition of The Modern Social Conflict takes conflict theory past the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and into the present day."--BOOK JACKET.
