Revitalizing marginal areas
This study presents a novel data-driven methodology to assess service provision and territorial fragility in Italy’s marginal areas, focusing on the Piedmont region. Based on the foundational economic theory, this research emphasizes the role of essential services in sustaining daily life and territorial cohesion. We develop a Foundational Economy Index (FEI) that maps the availability of key services including healthcare, education, food, transp…
Toward standards that include operational efficacy. A comment on the position statement by Aksoy, O., Manzo, G., Birkelund, G. E., and Raub, W
This comment argues that the position statement by Aksoy et al. (2026) articulates necessary but insufficient conditions for disciplinary standards in sociology. Integrating theory and empirics, open science practices, and engagement with pressing social issues are essential requirements; yet they leave unaddressed the capacity of sociological knowledge to produce operationally testable effects. Drawing on Prasad’s distinction between the causes …

Commons, Citizenship and Power
Since the 2010s, populism and illiberal politics have been on the rise. Demagogue leaders preach simplified rhetoric to vilify the powerless, polarising city and rural areas and sparking such shocking events as the US insurrection on 6th January 2021. This interdisciplinary book argues for a politics of representativity and accountability to help transform people’s experiences, showing that where they live matters and, therefore, so do they. This…

The moral economy of the great resignation
The “Great Resignation” or “The Big Quit” represents a significant shift in people’s importance of employment. In September 2021, U.S. Department of Labor data revealed that 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs, an increase of over 1.13 million from September 2020. This study aims to explore the socio-psychological reasons behind the Great Resignation and potential future shifts in how people view work in their lives. A data collection of 955 hi…
Les mandarins et la horde bibliométrique
L’article présente les équilibres, oppositions et conflits des dernières décennies qui ont contribué à la réorganisation institutionnelle de la sociologie italienne, ainsi qu’à l’évolution de ses pratiques de recrutement, d’évaluation et d’avancement. Ces changements sont toujours en cours et leurs partisans et opposants continuent à s’affronter ; notre texte est donc aussi un peu l’histoire d’un combat qui fait encore rage. Dans une première par…
Analytical sociology and cultural sociology
This paper argues that to bridge the gulf between analytical sociology and cultural sociology, a certain amount of intellectual risk is needed. By a close analysis of three award-winning papers selected from the list of winners of the “Robert K. Merton Award”, the annual award given by International Network of Analytical Sociologist, the essay illustrates the constitutive dimensions of a thin description–thick description gradient that shapes the…
Coupled contexts
This paper argues that keeping the micro-level model as simple as possible to grasp the complexity of social structure puts the claims of parsimony before those of realism. This pushes towards the building of models equipped with great analytical power, but not as effective in making sense of social phenomena in “middle-level” complexity contexts, where structural dimensions and micro-level logics of action interact and change together. This stan…

The Foundational Economy and Citizenship
The Foundational Economy encompasses those goods and services, together with the economic and social relationships that underpin them, that provide the everyday infrastructure of civilized life. Policies that promote commodification, privatization and financialisation have incorporated many of these goods and services within market logics, with profound and damaging impacts on the daily lives of citizens. This edited collection extends theoretica…

Participation for what? Organizational roles, quality conventions and purchasing behaviors in solidarity purchasing groups
Development
In sociology, the concept of development has two main strands, social change and progress, both derived from the social and intellectual contexts that shaped the discipline between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They mutually account for the reflexive nature of sociology, linking sociological knowledge to the core features of society. The problem of development has dealt with a wide series of topics, empirical phenomena, and analytical …

In Pursuit of Quality. The Institutional Change of Wine Production Market in Piedmont
This article analyses the consequences of the 'methanol wine scandal' on the wine production market of Piedmont. Contrary to what is usually claimed, these consequences where not the direct result of the scandal, but emerged only when a change in the institutional configuration of the market came about. The article illustrates how the institutional change following the scandal triggered the quality turn of the wine production market in Piedmont. …
Social Capital, Welfare State, and Political Legitimacy
In this article, the authors use the concept of negative social capital to address the contextual impact of micro mechanisms explaining political legitimacy. They first illustrate the effect of social capital with regard to its negative consequences. Then they select four countries, each one a case study of a different welfare regime, and measure the distribution of "time given helping others." The helping behavior is interpreted as a credit slip…
