Þar sem heil fræðigrein, stjórnmálafræðin, er helguð rannsóknum á stjórnmálum, hvað er það þá sem greinir stjórnmálafélagsfræði frá öðrum fræðigreinum? Þessi hnitmiðaða bók útskýrir hvernig félagsfræðilegt sjónarhorn eykur skilning okkar á tilurð, viðhaldi og umbreytingu ólíkra tegunda pólitísks skipulags. Stjórnmálafélagsfræði víkkar sjónarhornið og beinir sjónum að stjórnmálum á öðrum sviðum samfélagsins, svo sem innan fjölskyldunnar, á vinnustöðum og í félagasamtökum. Hún fjallar einnig um hvernig félagslegir þættir á borð við stétt, trú, aldur, kynþátt og kyn móta þátttöku í stjórnmálum og dreifingu pólitísks valds.
Stjórnmálafélagsfræði tekst á við þessi viðfangsefni í afar fjölbreyttu sögulegu og landfræðilegu samhengi, allt frá nánum samskiptum til alþjóðastjórnmála. Til þess þarf greiningartæki sem ná yfir hugtök á borð við vald, sjálfsmyndir og ójöfnuð, félagslega lokun, borgaralegt samfélag og ólíkar tegundir pólitískra aðgerða. Með hliðsjón af þessum lykilhugtökum fjallar þessi uppfærða útgáfa af What is Political Sociology? um helstu tegundir pólitísks skipulags, mótun stjórnarhátta og byltingar, félagslegar forsendur stjórnmálaþátttöku, stefnumótun og áhrif hennar á samfélagið, félagslegar hreyfingar og samfélagsbreytingar, auk möguleika á nýjum tegundum stafrænna stjórnmála og stjórnmála sem ná þvert á landamæri.
With an entire discipline devoted to political science, what is distinctive about political sociology? This concise book explains what a sociological perspective brings to our understanding of the emergence, reproduction, and transformation of different forms of political order. Crucially, political sociology expands the field of view to the politics that happen in other social settings - in the family, at work, in civic associations - as well as the ways in which social attributes such as class, religion, age, race, and gender shape patterns of political participation and the distribution of political power.
Political sociology grapples with these issues across an enormous range of historical and geographic settings, from intimate to geo-political scales. It requires an analytic toolkit that includes concepts of power, identities and inequalities, social closure, civil society, and modes of political action. Using these central concepts, this updated edition ofáWhat is Political Sociology?ádiscusses the major forms of political order, processes of regime formation and revolution, the social bases for political participation, policy formation as well as feedbacks, social movements and social change, and the possibilities for new forms of digital and transnational politics.
