The SAGE Handbook of Political Sociology offers a comprehensive and contemporary look at this evolving field of study. The focus is on political life itself and the chapters, written by a highly-respected and international team of authors, cover the core themes which need to be understood in order to study political life from a sociological perspective, or simply to understand the political world. 

The two volumes are structured around five key areas:

PART 1: TRADITIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
PART 2: CORE CONCEPTS
PART 03: POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES AND MOVEMENTS
PART 04: TOPICS
PART 05: WORLD REGIONS

This future-oriented and cross-disciplinary handbook is a landmark text for students and scholars interested in the social investigation of politics.

A very useful reference book for sociologists and political theorists, the entries in this volume show an excellent sense of the historical development and inter-disciplinary study of key concepts and areas – mostly those that are considered central to political sociology, but with a new additions and some interesting surprises.  

Professor Kate Nash
Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths

The most comprehensive collection of essays on the subject to date, this is the reference text that political sociology has been waiting for. Across 67 chapters and two volumes, the manual offers not only unusual breadth on the subject, but a depth of analysis which makes the case for putting sociology right back at the heart of the study of global power and political relations. A must-have resource for sociologists, this collection will also appeal to students, researchers, and scholars within the humanities and social sciences who require a comprehensive overview of sociology’s contribution to the understanding of political life.

Dr Bruce MZ Cohen
Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, University of Auckland
