Ulrich Beck

**Ulrich Beck** () adalah sosiolog Jerman. Ia menciptakan istilah masyarakat risiko. Ia pernah menjadi dosen sosiologi Universitas Ludwig-Maximilians Munich sampai 2009, kemudian pindah ke Universitas Munich dan London School of Economics.

## Karya
Selama 25 tahun, Beck memberi jawaban baru untuk pertanyaan berikut: Bagaimana caranya agar pemikiran dan aksi sosial dan politik di hadapan perubahan global radikal (perusakan lingkungan, krisis keuangan, pemanasan global, krisis demokrasi dan institusi negara-bangsa) bercampur untuk menghadapi modernitas baru? Modernitas yang teradikalisasi melenyapkan pondasinya sendiri. Institusi yang kuat pondasinya seperti negara-bangsa dan keluarga terglobalisasi dari dalam. Menurut Beck, semua pemikiran politik kontemporer berasal dari nasionalisme metodologis pemikiran politik dan sosiologi (dan ilmu sosial lainnya).

Beck merupakan penyunting jurnal sosiiologi *[[:de:Soziale Welt|Soziale Welt]]*, penulis kurang lebih 150 artikel, dan penulis atau penyunting beberapa buku. Bukunya yang membahas peran Jerman di Eropa modern, *German Europe* (2013), menjadi bahan pembicaraan di kalangan akademisi dan politik.
