The article provides a programmatic analysis of some of the main theories of modernization, globalization and individualization in late modernity, connecting this analysis to the sociology of youth. The text is divided into four sections: the first provides an overview of debates about modernity and distinguishes various positions within them (classical, anti, post and neo); the second section proposes a multidimensional framework of reference for the analysis of globalization, integrating its economic, political and cultural aspects in a coherent narrative; the third section presents the theories of risk society, reflexive modernization and the reflexive individualization of Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens; the last section intertwines all of the threads of the analysis into a sociological theory of youth, post-materialism and new social movements.References
