Recensione:

"The best of its kind on the market."

Craig Calhoun, New York University

"The second edition of Alex Callincos′ Social Theory reads in the same beautifully clear, reliable and accessible way as the first edition. The new material adds a further dimension to this splendid book, bringing it fully up to date with debates in which Callinicos has himself played a part."
