This comprehensive and authoritative Encyclopedia, featuring entries written by academic experts in the field, explores the diverse topics within the discipline of political sociology. By looking at both macro- and micro-components, questions relating to nation-states, political institutions and their development, and the sources of social and political change such as social movements and other forms of contentious politics, are raised and critically analysed.

‘Providing an invaluable guide to contemporary political sociology, by a range of foremost contributors, this comprehensive Encyclopedia will provide an essential point of research reference for scholars and students.’
