James Rule's evaluation of our collection of essays, Who's Watching?: Daily Practices of Surveillance among Contemporary Families, includes the critiques that we fail to offer enough informative and news, and that we fail to estab lish thematic normative stance?e.g., given forms of surveillance should be cur tailed, encouraged, regulated or, censored. All essay collections build generalizations from the ground up. This one is no excep tion. In ou…
Big Rights, Small Citizens
In this important book, Margaret Somers sets herself the ambitious task of developing an analytic and empirical approach to citizenship as ‘‘the right to have rights’’ and elaborates an ‘‘architectonics of citizenship’’ (p. 35) in terms of the historical, contemporary, and normative ‘‘triadic’’ institutional assemblage of state, market, and civil society (p. 30). Her main adversary is market fundamentalism in all its varieties. The book offers ma…

This article examines how EPA has increasingly become a more effective enabler of democratic network governance in the watershed arena and has developed ambitious cross-media initiatives to help transform the culture of the agency.

Civic Innovation in America: Community Empowerment, Public Policy, and the Movement for Civic Renewal
In this book, two leading experts on community action provide the first scholarly examination of the civic renewal movement that has emerged in the United States in recent decades. Sirianni Friedland examine civic innovation since the 1960s as social learning in four arenas (community organizing/development, civic environmentalism, community health, and public journalism), and they link local efforts to broader networks and to the development of …
Civic Innovation in America: Community Empowerment, Public Policy, and the Movement for Civic Renewal
Working Time as Gendered Time
Household-labor time and market-labor time are organized in part through the social structure of unequal gender relations. Generally, women do more household work than men, women's market work is undervalued, and the greatest rewards for market work accrue to men. The career model of employment is biased in favor of men who have few household responsibilities. Even noncareer seniority-sensitive job paths assume male incumbency with limited compet…

Justice and the Division of Labour: A Reconsideration of Durkheim's Division of Labour in Society
Durkheim's Division of Labour in Society is re-evaluated in terms of its profound theoretical tensions. On the one hand, his analysis of an emergent organic solidarity assigns a central place to the values of individuality and justice, and articulates a critical methodology for determining their progressive realization. Justice becomes the overriding requirement of social evolution, and the condition for structural integration and normative legit…
