Social theory is open to many passing currents. Claims to originality tend to thrive and past achievements are often ignored. In Sociologiocal Theory: What Went Wrong? Mouzelis claims that "problems" currently being isolated are not really problems, and that "achievements" claimed are little more than pretensions. He argues that we have been premature to dismiss thinkers from the late 1950s and early 1960s and that we can build on their ideas to produce a more effective, more relevant social theory. Written with precision and with clarity, Sociological Theory: What Went Wrong? is a compelling analysis of the central problems of sociological theory today and of the means to resolve them.

From novels of the nineteenth century to films of the 1990s, American culture, abounds with images of white, middle-class mothers. In Motherhood and Representation, E. Ann Kaplan considers how the mother appears in three related spheres: the historical, in which she charts changing representations of the mother from 1830 to the postmodernist present; the psychoanalytic, which discusses theories of the mother from Freud to Lacan and the French Feminists; and the mother as she is figured in cultural representations: in literary and film texts such as East Lynne, Marnie and the The Handmaid's Tale, as well as in journalism and popular manuals on motherhood. Kaplan's analysis identifies two dominant paradigms of the mother as `Angel' and `Witch', and charts the contesting and often contradictory discourses of the mother in present-day America.

Theorizing in the social sciences today is in disarray, a disarray marked by the relative disconnection between theory and empirical research, the subordination of sociological to philosophical theorizing, the abolition of boundaries between social science disciplines and subdisciplines and the conflation of the internal logics of sociology.

Theorizing in the social sciences today is in disarray, a disarray marked by the relative disconnection between theory and empirical research, the subordination of sociological to philosophical theorizing, the abolition of boundaries between social science disciplines and subdisciplines and the conflation of the internal logics of sociology. "Sociological Theory: What Went Wrong?" is a compelling analysis of the central problems of sociological theory today and the means to resolve them. In this book, the author argues for the validity of a truly sociological approach to social theory. To argue his case, Mouzelis selectively appropriates certain anti-essentialist and anti-foundationalist insights developed by poststructuralism and other versions of modern social theory. By examining critically a variety of developments in Post-Parsonian theorizing, the author both attempts to provide a diagnosis of what went wrong in the development of sociological theory and to offer suggestions of how to overcome the present impasse. The latter is done by the elaboration of a set of concepts--derived mainly but not exclusively from the Marxist and Parsonian traditions--which help us to view under a new light on-going debates on the nature of functionalist explanations, the agency/structure distinction, micro-macro linkages, and the social versus sociological theory controversy. "Sociological Theory: What Went Wrong?" will be essential reading for all concerned with the state of theorizing in the social sciences today.

This book provides the most extensive comparative survey of the state and conditions of democracy ever made. It focuses on 172 contemporary states, with historical data on the measures of democracy and on explanatory variables extending back to the 1850s. It presents a comprehensive exploration of democratization, its successes and failures, making predictions on the prospects for democracy for single countries and for seven regions of the world.As well as presenting empirical analyses of democratization on the basis of Vanhanens's resource distribution theory of democratization and making predictions on the prospects, the book includes contributions from five commentators, Mitchell A. Seligson on Latin America, Samuel Decalo and John W. Forje on Africa, John Henderson on Oceania and Ilter Turan on why some of the countires that pass Vanhanen's democratic threshold cannot in fact be seen as democracies. The volume also includes an introductory chapter which examines and compares other theoretical interpretations of democratization.Prospects for Democracy will be essential reading for all serious students of comparative politics and democracy.
