National governments are increasingly sharing the stage with many
other forms of empowered social actors and authoritative players.
Worldwide, alongside governmental bureaucracies, we witness the
proliferation of non-for-profit and voluntary associations,
business organizations and corporations, civic action committees
and political parties, as well as celebrities and cultural icons.
Importantly, whether they are individual- and collective social
actors, these various actors are bestowed with the legitimate
authority to speak their mind, act on their agenda, and influence
the course of social progress. How might we conceptualize the role
of such empowered social actors? This compilation of research and
commentary gathers a range of institutional perspectives
investigating what the devolution of state power and the so-called
democratization of social action means for the nature of authority
and how the multiplicity and variety of social actors impacts
societies worldwide, extending from focus on agents to actors to
actorhood.
