This collection of essays aims to revive the sociological debate on
the unintended, unanticipated and unexpected consequences of social
action, as started by Robert K. Merton in a classic study of 1936.
The contributing authors provide insights on both Merton's work and
the reception it received in the academia. They also go beyond his
original formulations to encompass new theoretical perspectives and
empirical interests that have emerged in the intellectual
circumstances different from, or opposed to, his functionalist
theory. The contributing authors delve into fields as diverse as
education, law, politics, financial markets, consumption, risks and
accidents, systemic transformation, organizations and institutional
work, innovations, and Polish studies.
