This important text argues for a 'strong' notion of structuration
theory in contrast to the seminal but more abstract and relatively
under-developed project represented by Anthony Giddens's writings.
Emphasis on the duality of structure is placed at the centre of the
tradition. It is argued that the distinctive power of structuration
theory lies in its potential to critically investigate a specific
range of in situ questions. Structuration Theory produces a
synthesis that draws on Giddens's work, on other versions of the
structuration problematic, and on key empirical uses of the
approach. The final chapters make use of extended case examples to
illustrate the critical power of strong structuration.
