Description:
In contrast to traditional political sociology, where the principal issue is the relationship between society and state, the new political sociology considers the activities of social movements and processes of globalization as seen in all social relations. This highly original contribution provides a redefinition of the field. It considers the effect of the "postmodern turn" on the field and summarizes literature on globalization, social movements, and citizenship to argue that as a result of empirical changes and theoretical shifts, the sovereign nation-state has been displaced as the center of political activity.
