Globalization
The constraints of geography are shrinking and the world is becoming a single place. Globalization and the global society are increasingly occupying the centre of sociological debates. Widely discussed by journalists and a key goal for many businesses, globalization has become a buzz-word in recent years. In this extensively revised and restructured new edition of Globalization , Malcolm Waters provides a user-friendly introduction to the main ar…
Modernist Radicalism, Postmodernization and Orderings
The article is a survey of the opus of the late Stephen Crook. The work is analysed in three phases: meta-theoretical treatments of foundationalism and mundaneity; substantive theoretical analyses of postmodernization, especially in the areas of culture, science and the environment; and principles along which everyday life is ordered under conditions of structural complexity, uncertainty and radical change. Crook's work is found to have the poten…

The Death of Class
The Impact of Organizational Form on Gendered Labour Markets in Engineering and Law
It is well known that occupations are differentially gendered and explanations for such gendering usually focus on structure and process in the labour market. However little is known of the fine detail of the way in which labour markets perform for particular occupations in particular local contexts. This article is based on micro-sociological research on the professional labour markets for law and engineering professionals in the city of Hobart,…

The Thesis of the Loss of the Perfect Market
The prevailing sociological theory of transformation in the societal market is that it progressively deperfectionalizes. This is a myth linked to prevailing beliefs in Anglo-Saxon societies about the decline of laissez faire. The so-called laissez-faire period was in fact characterized by effective status constraints on the exchange of both labour and commodities. Organized or state-monopoly capitalism in fact expanded, opened and derestricted ma…
Succession in the Stratification System
The 'death of class' debate turns on the simple issue of whether or not class exists. While we may accept that the influence of class is waning, the concept should not be abandoned. Indeed, we should retain the Marxist meaning of the concept, but accept that a variety of stratification orders is possible and that the class order may be subordinated to others. Weber has signalled, in the class-party-status triplet, the most significant possible st…
Alternative Organizational Formations
Much of the critical attention given to Weber's tripartite scheme of legitimate domination has focused on the issue of its supposed incapacity to accommodate forms of organization not based on instrumental rationality. In fact substantive rationality is a continuous point of reference in Weber's analysis and surfaces in his brief and fragmentary outlines of three polycratic organizational forms: collegiality, mass democracy, and direct democracy.…

Political preferences in the new middle class
Most discussions of the relationship between class and political orientation assume a coherent and homogeneous class response. Here, the new middle class of professional workers is disassembled into constituent occupations. An analysis of political preference data by means of ‘correspondence analysis’ reveals a pattern which is consistent with a structural relationship between occupational experience and political preference
Citizenship and the Constitution of Structured Social Inequality1
Both political philosophical and sociological accounts of stress equal rights and obligations. However, can be viewed as a vehicle by means of which the state structures social inequality in both state socialist and capitalist societies. This occurs in three ways: by offering formal equality to those who are materially disprivileged; by the establishment of differential statuses; and by the manipulation of political support. The consequent patter…
Patriarchy and Viriarchy
The use of the term 'patriarchy', in both feminist and sociological analysis, faces problems because of the etymological roots of the term, the form of its connection to political struggles, and the ahistorical fashion in which it is typically employed. There are four principle traditions within which the terms is used: as a kinship based system of government; as generalized masculine oppression; as a mechanism in the social reproduction of capit…
Collegiality, Bureaucratization, and Professionalization
This article analyzes Weber's writing on the topic of collegiality in Economy and Society in order to reintegrate the concept of collegiality with his other concepts of legitimate domination, status group closure, bureaucracy, and legal formalism. An ideal-type of collegiate organization is identified, and the consequences of the emergence of collegial social structure of this form in professional contexts are examined. These arguments provide a …
