The Invisible Order: A Relational Approach to Social Institutions: Palgrave Studies in Relational Sociology
Autor Olli Herranenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2023
The book addresses the problem of institutionalised order in modern capitalist societies with highly developed division of labour. Via thorough critique and reconstruction of neo institutionalist theory, classical social theories, and critical ideology theory, The Invisible Order introduces the first relational theory of social institutions to explain in detail how individuals end up encountering institutions as objective. Thus synthesising integrative and conflicting social relations, the work calls into question deeply rooted understandings in which society is variously construed as spontaneous equilibrium, solely conflict-driven, or a set of agent-based constructions. It offers a new take on the age-old questions of classical and critical social theory and on the fundamentals of institutional and organisational theory alike. This timely and useful relational examination of social institutions reveals how complex societies can keep functioning even though theirorders are constantly contradicted by multiple disordering endeavours and tendencies.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
"This important book brings up what in contemporary social theorising has been forgotten and ignored, namely taken for granted institutions. These institutions are the invisible kit that makes social order prevail. Herranen shows by a detailed and scholarly analysis that institutions, as relationally emerging phenomena, are the backbone of the social fabric. The timely book is a novel and valuable contribution to social theory, and the usefulness of the theoretical analysis is applied to the contemporary capitalistic society."
—Patrik Aspers, Chair of Sociology, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland
"The problem of social order, how humans unconsciously coordinate, is perhaps the central problem of social theory, dividing, for example, historical Institutionalists from scholars of ideas and ideology. Herranen seeks to reconcile these disparate views, and he does so by rehabilitating Parsonian functionalism by embedding it in a relational ontology. The result isa deeply sociological and yet non-realist account of social life."
