Routledge From Globalization to World Society Sociology Book

Explore new sociological perspectives with From Globalization to World Society by Routledge. This volume, part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series, examines the evolution of global social relationships. While traditional approaches like world systems analysis often focus on specific domains such as politics or the economy, this collection looks at the broader spectrum of social connections. Contributors within this book investigate the concept of "world society" as an alternative to the idea that society and the nation-state are the same. By utilizing neo-institutional and systems-theoretical perspectives, the text addresses the gaps left by previous sociological models. This is an essential resource for students and scholars studying anthropology and sociology who seek to understand how global structures function beyond the nation-state.
