This textbook considers understanding social processes to be the
main task of sociology. From this perspective its authors
demonstrate and explain problems which they consider to be crucial
for contemporary social science. These are topics of a theoretical
and epistemological nature, which are nevertheless closely
connected with social development and issues arising from it. The
book moves from the more general theoretical questions and dilemmas
raised by key social thinkers, such as those connected with the
concepts of actor, agency, institutions, structures and systems. It
then leads to theoretical reflections on long-term developmental
processes associated with the phenomena of power and life in
current societies, including globalization, identities, migration,
etc. It provides a comprehensive approach to the essential
questions of sociology. Lucidly written and including the latest
sociological perspectives, this book will find wide appeal among
social science students and researchers, and is also for the
socially aware general reader.
