First published in 1971, this is a clear, straightforward
introductory discussion of the importance of sociological
knowledge, and particularly sociological theory, for the
understanding of political life. The topics covered include
sociology and the discipline of politics, the elementary forms of
political life, and the relationship between theory, evidence and
insight. Francis Castles also looks at functionalism and the
analysis of conflict as sociological meta-theories, and at the idea
of anomie and the theory of mass society. The book should be of
prime interest to students of politics and to students of the
social sciences in general.
