Présentation de l'éditeur :

Now available in paperback, Theories of Social Change presents a classic statement of Boudon′s stance in social theory and empirical sociology. Boudon criticizes the theories of social change that dominated sociology between the early 1950s and the late 1970s, and elaborates his own distinctive account. Suitable for academics, students and researchers in sociology, politics, economics and anthropology.
