While it was evident to the classics of social theory that modern
societies are highly dynamic forms of social organization, and that
this dynamic nature must be reflected explicitly and confronted
directly in modes of analysis across the social sciences, over the
course of the twentieth century, the acknowledgement of this fact
has been weakening. As the social sciences became increasingly
concerned with issues of professionalization and standards of
validity inspired by more established disciplines, especially the
natural sciences and economics, the focus on dynamic processes gave
way to efforts to illuminate structural (i.e., static) features of
modern social life. In recent decades, however, this preoccupation
with structure has begun to give way to more process-oriented
research orientations. In part, this renewed interest in dynamics
rather than statics is reflective of the growing influence of
Continental European traditions, especially in Germany and France.
In this follow-up volume to "Theorizing the Dynamics of Social
Processes (vol. 27)", the emphasis is placed on recent trends in
Continental European social theory, and on the importance of
political analyses to theorizing modern societies.
