A very useful reference book for sociologists and political theorists, the entries in this volume show an excellent sense of the historical development and inter-disciplinary study of key concepts and areas – mostly those that are considered central to political sociology, but with a new additions and some interesting surprises.
The most comprehensive collection of essays on the subject to date, this is the reference text that political sociology has been waiting for. Across 67 chapters and two volumes, the manual offers not only unusual breadth on the subject, but a depth of analysis which makes the case for putting sociology right back at the heart of the study of global power and political relations.
