In Planetary Sociology: Beyond the Entanglement of Identity and
Social Structure, Harry F. Dahms gathers a team of
interdisciplinary junior social scientists who examine their
individual identity as being shaped by specific social contexts
such as nationality, class, and race, to scrutinize how their
interests as social scientists are responses to such contexts and
culturally specific circumstances (Part II). Acknowledging the
limits of economic, organizational, and technological modernization
at the national level, planetary sociology delineates the type of
critical social, political, cultural, and environmental reflexivity
required for "progress," "health," and "development" to be
meaningful categories. Including contributions from senior scholars
in the field who do not rely on the paradigm of planetary Sociology
(Part III), this volume of Current Perspectives in Social Theory
illustrates the importance of scrutinizing links between individual
identity and social structure, without employing the paradigm of
planetary sociology. Taken together, the chapters in this volume
are essential reading for both undergraduate and graduate students
eager to understand a rigorous social-research mindset, along with
professionalization, methodology, and theoretical orientation, and
related applications. Presenting an opportunity for social
theorists and social scientists to learn about the challenges faced
by younger sociologists, the examples of "applied theory" included
here emphasize the importance of critical self-reflexivity in and
for the 21st century, and the challenges it represents to social
scientists, theorists, researchers, and teachers.
