Social Theory and Regional Studies in the Global Age
In this pioneering volume, leading international scholars argue for the development of a new approach to social theory that draws on regional studies for the conduct of comparative analysis in the global age. Social Theory and Regional Studies in the Global Age moves beyond facile generalizations based on the historical experience of modernization in the West by highlighting differences rather than similarities and contrasts rather than commonalities, and by examining civilizational processes and culturally specific developmental patterns distinctive of different world regions. Essays combine comparative and historical sociology with civilizational analysis and the study of multiple and alte...
Social Theory and Social Movements
Social movements are not only a potential challenge to societies, they also challenge social theory. This volume looks at social movements and social movement research through the lens of different social theories. What can social movement studies learn from these theories? And: What can these theories learn from the analysis of social movements? From this double vantage point, the book discusses the theories of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Niklas Luhmann, Jeffrey Alexander, and Judith Butler, as well as rational choice theory, relational sociology, and organizational neo-institutionalism.

Intervention, Regimewechsel, erzwungene Migration
Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit den Interventionen im Kosovo 1999, in Afghanistan 2001 und im Irak 2003, wo aus divergierenden Gründen, aber gleichgerichtet mit dem Ziel eines Regimewechsels militärisch eingegriffen wurde. Im Mittelpunkt stehen humanitäre Auswirkungen dieser Interventionen, insbesondere unter dem Aspekt erzwungener Migration. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung weisen in allen drei Fällen eine negative Bilanz aus, die die humanitären Absichten und Begründungen der Interventionen konterkariert. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Überlegungen zu den Ursachen nicht intendierter Folgen und den Konsequenzen solcher Eingriffe angestellt.
Pragmatism and Social Philosophy
This book explores the role that American pragmatism played in the development of social philosophy in 20th-century Europe. The essays in the first part of the book show how the ideas of Peirce, James, and Dewey influenced the traditions of European philosophy, especially existentialism and the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, that emerged in the 20th century. The second part of the volume deals with current challenges in social philosophy. The essays here demonstrate how discussions of two core issues in social philosophy—the conception of social conflict and the public—can be enriched with pragmatist resources. In featuring both historical and conceptual perspectives, these essays provide a full picture of pragmatism’s role in the development of Continental social philosophy. Pragmatism and Social Philosophy will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on American philosophy, social philosophy, and Continental philosophy.
