Readings in Contemporary Political Sociology

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.
