Successful societies
Combining moral philosophy with sociological theory to build on themes introduced in Hall and Lamont's Successful Societies (2009), the paper outlines a distinctive perspective.

Late modern societies consist of a plura…
One world is not enough
The paper is based on original empirical research into the lifestyle migration of European migrants, primarily British, to Thailand and Malaysia, and of Hong Kong Chinese migrants to Mainland China.

The approach enables a rich engagement with the subjectivit…

A synthesis of strong structuration theory, critical realism, and cultural sociology is empl…

The analysis attempts to give specificity and critical precision to what…
