Inhaltsangabe

This book revisits social theory with a view to highlighting certain essential features of 'good' social theory: its ability to raise certain questions, its explanatory power, its critical and reflexive interrogation of concepts, its search for objectivity, its concern to make sense of empirical data and its aim of projecting some degree of generality and abstraction. With particular attention to issues of nationalism, democracy, civil society, state, feminism, neoliberalism, minority rights, environment and North-East Indian society, it considers whether new and more relevant theoretical questions need to be asked.

It will therefore appeal to scholars of social theory and political sociology with interests in new approaches to social theory and the development of local or 'indigenous' social thought.
