Abstract
Ulrich Beck, with the conceptualization of risk society and the book of the name “Risk Society” in 1992, claims that the postmodern era gave birth to a social structure adorned with risks. This situation, which arises mainly from the problem of trust, actually presents a model of society in which the silent motto of individualism and capitalism prepared by modernity. On the other hand, there is no consensus in the definitions of postmodernism, which is widely discussed concept since the mid-20th century. However, postmodernism corresponds to situations such as globalization, consumption, change of centralist understanding in-state levels, the commodification of knowledge, and deformation in lifestyle. Social control mechanisms ant the limitations, as Beck stated, nurture this belonging from their former strength. This melting state, which can be observed at different scales in each society, becomes more visible with some developments. Globalization and mobility, the complexity of education and business life, the erosion of the cyber realm and the mechanism of law are just a few of the areas underlined in the present trial. In the context of this study, Ulrich Beck's concept will be compared with postmodernism and the question of whether the change in global policy understanding will ensure the continuity of international politics and relations.
