Beschreibung
The Sociology of Political Crisis explores political mobilization as an extension of the resource mobilization perspective on social movements. The emphasis on "e;desectorisation"e; in explaining how movements mobilize into full blown political crises and potential agents of social change provides a timely theoretical insight into contemporary culture. In part a critique of social constructionism, this book points to a generalized overemphasis on non-material aspects of political mobilization. Michel Dobry's analytical style in the pursuit of "e;Fluid Conjunctures"e; develops a considerably sophisticated approach to social process. This first translation of a classic work in political sociology freely moves in and out of philosophical currents in a sophisticated and extremely timely way.
