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 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.
