The Book
This book evaluates the various schools of thought—from Machiavelli to Marx and Weber—and traces the development of the analysis of society and power. It offers a refreshingly new perspective and interpretation of the interaction between politics and society. Since Political Sociology forms an important part of the syllabus, both at the graduate and the postgraduate levels, this book is an indispensable and comprehensive text for students, teachers and research scholars.
