Life Politics

Giddens says life politics is a 'politics of lifestyle which concerns how, both as individuals and collectively, we should live in a world where what used to be fixed either by nature or tradition is now subject to human decisions (1994, 15 and Ekberg 358). This relates to Beck's ecological politics.
