Exploring the Sociology of Europe

Timely and engaging, this is the first book to really map out and develop the emerging field of the sociology of Europe.

The sociology of Europe is a growing and diverse field. This book addresses it in a direct, wide ranging and up-to-date way.

Exploring the Sociology of Europe:

Covering the substantive historical sociological aspects of Europe (Part 1), the historical and comparative sociology of the nation-state (Part 2), and the comparative sociology of welfare capitalism (Part 3) Maurice Roche sets out a clear and effective framework for understanding the sociology of Europe.

The book will be of interest to all students, researchers and academics involved in studying, teaching and researching the expanding field of modern European society.
