The writing is beautifully clear and the book is a major contribution to the self-understanding of the discipline." - William Outhwaite, Professor of Sociology at Newcastle University, UK This book examines key trends, debates, and challenges in twenty-first-century sociology. To this end, it focuses on significant issues surrounding the nature of sociology ('What is sociology?'), the history of sociology ('How has sociology evolved?'), and the study of sociology ('How can or should we make sense of sociology?'). These issues have been, and will continue to be, essential to the creation of conceptually informed, methodologically rigorous, and empirically substantiated research programmes in the discipline. Over the past years, however, there have been numerous disputes and controversies concerning the future of sociology. Particularly important in this respect are recent and ongoing discussions on the possibilities of developing new - and, arguably, post-classical - forms of sociology. The central assumption underlying most of these projects is the contention that a comprehensive analysis of the principal challenges faced by global society requires the construction of a sociology capable of accounting for the interconnectedness of social actors and social structures across time and space. This book provides a cutting-edge overview of crucial past, present, and possible future trends, debates, and challenges shaping the pursuit of sociological inquiry. 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aSocial Theory 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aSocial Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a301 700 $aSusen$b Simon$0750432 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910426049503321 996 $aSociology in the twenty-first century$91903894 997 $aUNINA
