Books by Alan Scott

What social conditions, ideas and values facilitate or discourage political activity? What social forms offer the promise for extending and deepening democracy? This title features papers, which together form a record of how political sociologists since the 1970s have framed questions about the range and limits of democratic political engagement.

Political sociology studies how politics shapes and is shaped by society. This title contains important and influential journal articles and papers in modern political sociology. Designed to improve access to the journal literature for libraries expanding their collections, it also includes an overview of the post-1969 literature.
