520			_aWhat is the relationship between the state and civil society? Which institutions truly wield power in the modern world? Keith Faulks tackles these questions as he introduces the key conceptual debates and approaches in contemporary political sociology. Important and topical issues including globalization, the rise of new social movements, neo-liberalism, citizenship, political culture and political participation are explored alongside critiques of key sociologists such as Giddens, Beck and Etzioni. This is the definitive introduction to the key processes that are changing the nature of politics and society in the modern world. The focus is on clarity, accessibility, and the needs of the student: boxes and charts are used to highlight key facts and figures, and a guide to further reading is included to encourage further exploration of this fascinating subject.
