Organizing Modernity - New Weberian Perspectives on Work, Organization and Society (Hardcover)

This text aims to provide a reassessment of the significance of Max Weber's work for the current debates about the institutional and organizational dynamics of modernity. It re-evaluates Weber's sociology of bureaucracy and his general account of the trajectory of modernity, with reference to the strategic social structures that dominated the emergence and development of modern society. Included here are detailed analyses of contemporary issues, such as the collapse of Communism, Fordism, corporatism and traditionalism in both Western and Eastern societies. It also signals the potential for new organizational and institutional forms to emerge in the aftermath of these social ruptures and upheavals. All of the contributors undertake analyses of Weber's texts and his broader intellectual inheritance to reassert the centrality of Weberian sociology for our understanding of the moral, political and organizational dilemmas of late modernity.
