Reseña del editor:

This important and much needed two-volume work takes stock of the new approaches in sociology which have developed since the 1960s. It presents, from different vantage points, the major dimensions of recent theoretical controversy and highlights the growing recognition of problems common to all areas of sociological endeavour.

Significant new contributions to ethnomethodology, to social psychology and to the study of institutions are examined in Macro-Sociological Theory and its companion volume, Micro-Sociological Theory . Together they show that the traditional line of division between `structuralist' macro-theories and `interactionist' micro-theories is increasingly being eroded.

These stimulating volumes will be of interest to all sociologists and social theorists.
