Issues of movement - of people, things, information and ideas - are

central to people’s lives and to most organisations. From oil wars to

SMS texting, from airport expansion controversies to the decline of

walking, from slave-trading to global terrorism, from global warming

to teleworking, issues of ‘mobility’ are centre-stage upon many

academic and policy agendas. John Urry has been at the centre of these debates and he draws upon an extensive array of new research and material to develop what he calls the ‘new mobilities paradigm’ for

the social sciences. The social world will be analysed quite

differently once peoples’ lives, organisations, states and global

institutions are seen to be dealing with extensive and hugely

contested mobility processes.
