A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Readings in Contemporary Political Sociology collects the best published writings of prominent sociologists and political theorists currently working in the field. The essays chart new territory in the field of political sociology, going beyond the traditional focus on the relationship between state and society.

The first section consists of articles addressing the concerns of the "postmodern turn" in sociology and its implications for the study of politics. Subsequent sections deal with substantive topics in the field, linking influential pieces on globalization, social movements, citizenship, and democracy.

For students of political sociology and political theory, this collection is a milestone, representing the field′s most noteworthy research and publications of recent years. It may be used independently or in conjunction with Kate Nash′s introductory book Contemporary Political Sociology: Globalization, Politics, and Power.

Revue de presse :

"Finally – a collection that explores political sociology as a series of conceptual political problems, as opposed to a diffuse empirical array. These articles raise the most central issues in political sociology in a way that engages and challenges the reader." Michael Kimmel, State University of New York at Stony Brook
