<br/>
Over the past century, the field of sociology has experienced extraordinary expansion and vitality. But is this growth positive or negative - a promise of diversity or a threat of fragmentation?
<p>This critical volume explores the meaning of sociology and sociological knowledge in light of the recent growth and institutionalization of the discipline. A stellar group of international authors powerfully identify, question, and transform key assumptions in sociology.
</p>
<p>Leading us through the challenges faced by sociology, and the possible strategies for addressing them in the future, the book includes key issues such as:
</p>
globalization
development
social policy
inequality.
<p>An important companion for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers engaged with contemporary sociological theory, sociology of knowledge and sociological analysis. </p>
