Globalization represents a complex set of processes in constant development and expansion, since the moment it began. This phenomenon encompasses the integration of sociospatial, economic and cultural relations on a global scale, promoting transformations in the social structure. This study seeks to explore the interconnections between risks and uncertainties in the context of globalization, based on the theories of Frank Furedi (2002, 2006) on the culture of fear and the theories of Ulrich Beck (2002, 2011) and Anthony Giddens (1991, 1998) on individualization, risk society and uncertainties of late modernity. Based on these authors, we seek to understand the social, political and cultural transformations, especially the ways in which socio-economic and environmental threats affect everyday life in contemporary society.
