This volume presents cutting-edge, theoretically ambitious studies
in political sociology by first-rate European scholars that deal
with some of the major challenges European societies and politics
are facing. These have to do with globalisation and complex
Europeanisation, which have contributed to restructuring the
European nation-state and redefining political power. Accounting
for these transformations requires revisiting traditional objects
of political science such as state sovereignty, civil society and
citizenship. While doing this, the studies of this volume join
sophisticated empirical analyses with methodological and conceptual
innovations such as field theory, multiple correspondence analysis
and the study of space sets. Combining qualitative and quantitative
research techniques and macro- and micro-levels, they have in
common a contextual analysis of politics through scrutiny of
configurations of groups, representations and perceptions in an
increasingly transnational space. A transnational perspective that
seeks to avoid methodological nationalism is present in all the
studies of this volume. Endorsement "Social science considerations
of Europe and European integration have been colonised by 'new
institutionalisms, ' whether the rational choice version that
mimics economics or the alternative 'historical' variety, both
rooted in Anglophone debates. Political sociology has been
relatively absent, alas, partly because sociology has been
fragmented by national concerns and multiple social problem
orientations. A Political Sociology of Transnational Europe is a
splendid launching pad for the intellectual game change that is
needed. The book brings together an all-star international cast of
political sociologists who present refreshing and different
approaches that elucidate much about today's unprecedented crisis
conditions in Europe. In practically every essay we learn that the
world of politics is much more than national institutions and that
analysing it demands much more than national state-centered
theories and methods can give us." George Ross, ad personam Jean
Monnet Chair at the Universite de Montreal, Morris Hillquit
Professor emeritus at Brandeis University, and, Faculty associate
of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard
