Conflict Theories
From the broad range of conflict theories, this entry looks at five types: materialist, elite, race and ethnic, feminist, and cultural conflict theories. It considers the basic structure of a conflict theory involving one group dominating another, the method of domination from materialist to symbolic, and whether the conflict is solvable or intractable. In the conclusion, I discuss recent movements toward relational theories that will integrate m…
The Narrative Construction of Identities
Acts, Agencies, and Identity By Robert Perinbanayagam (Lexington Books, 2025) Symbols lead to narratives, and narratives or stories lead to identity. Narrativity has become the bulwark of cultural sociology in many realms of sociology and a strong movement in symbolic interactionism. Should symbolic interactionism be based on Kenneth Burke's theory of a grammar of motives? I will return to this question in the next-to-last paragraph of this revie…

The New Division of Labor as Lean Production
This issue of the International Journal of Sociology (IJS) focuses on lean production in the global economy. Given the muted reception of lean production in sociology, in this introduction I describe structural changes that led to lean production, how different versions of the division of labor have emerged, and how lean production has been implemented in different industries around the world. The four articles in this issue examine as-yet unansw…
Dominant Divisions of Labor
The past century of labor was definitively captured by theories like Fordism and Taylorism, or scientific managment, but how do we make sense of global production today? This short book takes a panora

Income Inequality
Income inequality measures how different the incomes might be between people in one society, whether that society is a county, province, state, country, or region of the world. Social scientists try to systematically estimate gaps between the poor, the rich, and everyone in between. Income inequality consists of the differences in the amount of money people receive in a year (e.g., differences between wages for blue- and pink-collar workers, sala…
Job Creation
Job creation can be loosely defined as increasing the number of jobs in the labor market. Job creation can occur in a number of ways, including job creation by the state through active labor market policies, job creation through Keynesian demand management, job creation through investment, and “natural” job creation within firms. Active labor market policies (ALMP), in general, are government measures that seek to improve the functioning of the l…

Conflict, Citizenship and Civil Society
The Ironies of Citizenship
Explanations of naturalization and jus soli citizenship have relied on cultural, convergence, racialization, or capture theories, and they tend to be strongly affected by the literature on immigration. This study of naturalization breaks with the usual immigration theories and proposes an approach over centuries and decades toward explaining naturalization rates. First, it provides consistent evidence to support the long-term existence of coloniz…
The Dynamic Processes of Volunteering in Civil Society
With new emphasis on civil advocacy and active citizenship, volunteering needs more of a group process and multi-level approach to civil society. A theoretical approach to doing this can be done in two ways. First, volunteering can be theorized as existing in informal networks with opinion leaders who provide information and recruit volunteers through a multi-step process. In these interpretive communities ‘being asked’ is socially organized, and…
The difference that empire makes
Austria has had much higher naturalization rates than Germany. Two arguments are made based on institutional regime theory and left political power. First, the imperial experiences of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that colonized 11 different nations explains Austria's relative openness, and the monocultural experience of the German Reich that tried to impose German language and culture on partitioned Poland casts light on Austria's open and Germany…

Conflict Theories in Political Sociology
Once upon a time, Parsons's structural functionalism, depicting society as a community founded on a value consensus, was thought, at least in the United States, to be the dominant theoretical paradigm in the discipline. To be sure, there was always a fair amount of resistance to this view (e.g., C. Wright Mills, Ralf Dahrendorf, Dennis Wrong, and others). But it was not until some time during the 1960s, in part no doubt encouraged by the turmoil …

Citizenship and Civil Society
Rights and obligations are confusing. When people really want or need something they call it a right. Can they simply attach this word to anything they want? Can people disregard obligations with impunity? This book argues that they cannot. One must understand those relationships in specific ways to really know what can or can not be done with rights and obligations in public discourse and politics. They must create a web of interaction between c…

The Contribution of Religion to Volunteer Work
The connection between church membership, church activism, and volunteering is explored using a three-wave panel study of young adults. Volunteering to help others solve community problems is more likely among members of churches that emphasize this-worldly social concerns, especially among those socially involved in these churches. Among Catholics, the connection between church involvement and volunteering is formed early and remains strong. Amo…

The Comparative Political Economy of the Welfare State
Synthetic Strategies in Comparative Sociological Research
Synthetic research in comparative/historical sociology involves the integration of internal analysis (within country inference) and external analysis (between country inference). This process is explained through a model of the comparative research process that focuses on the differences between internal and external analysis. After presenting the range of possible synthetic research strategies, the problems involved in four empirical works that …
Social Insurance in Transition
This treatment of the economics of social security examines the aims and operations of state social security systems, concentrating on the social systems--pensions, unemployment, and sickness insurance. The authors analyze the rationale for a social insurance system, the appropriate level of state intervention, and the criteria used to judge a system's performance. The recent literature on the economic theory of insurance and on the labor supply,…

The Political Economy of Unemployment
This comprehensive and instructive study examines the relative success or failure of government policies in preventing and alleviating unemployment. Choosing two contrasting cases—West Germany and the United States—Thomas Janoski probes the causes and consequences of two very different orientations toward labor market policy. In West Germany, labor, employers, and government cooperate in the running of a powerful and effective employment service.…

Methodological innovations in comparative political economy
Comparative research is exploding with new methodological and theoretical approaches. In this book, scholars who are expert in each one of these methods provide the first comprehensive explanation and application of time-series, pooled, event history, and Boolean methods to substantive problems of the welfare state. Each section of the book focuses on a new method with a general introduction to the method and then two papers using the method to d…
