The New Political Sociology

This book is an investigation into how the categories of political sociology have been impacted by the cultural, global and complexity turns in contemporary sociology. The author argues for the development of an existential turn in political sociology to capture the ambiguous social and political forms that have emerged through these turns.

Review: 'A bold and original contribution to the field. Taylor offers us a political sociology of 'inbetweeness': the old order of modernity is dissolving while the emerging order is not yet fully formed. The result is a sophisticated and challenging book.' - Chris Rumford, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK 'Graham Taylor traces the ways in which new understandings of globalization and culture have transformed political sociology.

This book will become part of the debate on the future of states and politics, and on how best to analyze those social creations.' - Richard Lachmann, State University of New York at Albany, USA
