"Representing the fruit of in-depth dynamics it invites us to give
all necessary attention to the concepts of conflict, cooperation
and competition. By reflecting on the possible articulations of
these concepts and attempting to apply them in diverse fields of
social science the editors give voice to those who are studying the
world as it is and perform the service of returning a set of
concepts, approaches or paradigms to their legitimate place." -
Michel Wieviorka, President, International Sociological Association
This ISA Handbook presents and tracks the transformation of the
societies and social relations that characterize the twenty-first
century. The volume is organized around a conceptualization of
three processes that are fundamental to the analyses of micro, meso
and macro social relations: conflict, competition, and cooperation.
In addition to chapters that delve into sociological theory, case
studies and overviews of subfields discuss and contextualize
debates from an international perspective, incorporating relevant
material about North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and
Asia. Chapters on topics and fields crucial to the experience of
people around the world include, among others: childhood studies,
consumption, hunger, labour studies, peace-keeping, law, health,
sport, and welfare. Systematic and informed, the handbook will
serve readers in all branches of the social sciences, providing
both experienced researchers and novices with the materials to
explore the different domains of contemporary life.
