Sozialer Wandel ist ein typisches Merkmal der Moderne. Doch mitten in der Normalitat dieses Wandels spüren wir die Anzeichen grundlegender gesellschaftlicher Veranderungen, die auf eine "Globale Umbruchsituation", auf eine "Historische Zasur der Moderne" hindeuten. Der Autor thematisiert diese Epoche als "Neue Ära der Transformation". Auf diesem Hintergrund wird erstmals der Versuch unternommen, Gesellschafts-Transformation als spezifischen Typ sozialen Wandels im 21. Jahrhundert zu beschreiben, zu erklaren und zu deuten. Zugleich wird vom Autor begründet, weshalb diese "Neue Ära der Transformation" die Suche nach einem neuen Konzept sozialen Wandels verlangt. Die Konturen eines solch zeitgemassen Modells sozialen Wandels werden in diesem Buch entwickelt, kritisch geprüft und in die kontroverse Debatte eingeordnet.
