The authors seek to provide an accessible account of how politics is undergoing a shift from the modern to the postmodern. They outline the concepts of postmodernity, postmodernism and postmodernization to explain the transformation of the personal and public worlds in contemporary Western society, and confront globalization and the notion of postmodernity as disorganized capitalism. To explore the changing ways in which politics function, Gibbins and Reimer look at the values underpinning new politics and new social movements, and consider the progressive potential of politics in postmodern times.
