Description
The Sociology of Political Crisis explores political mobilization as an extension of the resource mobilization perspective on social movements. The emphasis on "desectorisation" 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 "Fluid Conjunctures" 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.
