Review Quotes: 'Giddens is, in the British context, remarkable for more than his industry. He is that rarest of birds, a home reared `grand theorist', whose aim is nothing less than a reconstruction of the theoretical foundations of social theory ... The Nation State and Violence is the latest, well-argued and researched stage in his attempt to show how the reality we now inhabit has been formed in recent history.'
