Summary
In Planetary Sociology: Beyond the Entanglement of Identity and Social Structure, Harry F. Dahms has gathered a team of interdisciplinary junior social scientists who examine their individual identity as being shaped by specific social contexts such as nationality, class, and race, to scrutinize how their interests as social scientists are responses to such contexts and culturally specific circumstances. By examining the tension between economic, organizational and technological modernization processes at the national level planetary sociology enables the identification of necessary preconditions for social, political, cultural, psychological and environmental standards of “health” and development at the planetary level.
For its breadth and depth of research, this volume of Current Perspectives in Social Theory is essential reading for both undergraduate and graduate students wanting to understand what a social-research mindset entails, as well as professionalization, methodology, and theoretical orientation, and related applications.
