Rezensionen

"Graham Taylor does well what so many contemporary authors seem to fail to do

these days, that is, after positioning his work amid recent trends in sociological research

and theory, he poses a meaningful alternative." - International Sociology Review

'A bold and original contribution to the field. Taylor offers us a political sociology of 'inbetweeness': the old order of modernity is dissolving while the emerging order is not yet fully formed. The result is a sophisticated and challenging book.' - Chris Rumford, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

'Graham Taylor traces the ways in which new understandings of globalization and culture have transformed political sociology. This book will become part of the debate on the future of states and politics, and on how best to analyze those social creations.' - Richard Lachmann, State University of New York at Albany, USA
