Description: Cutting edge handbook from the International Sociological Association. Wide in scope and full of global case studies.
Brief description: Ann Denis teaches Sociology at the University of Ottawa, Canada.
Review Quotes: ′This Handbook is the first published by the ISA in this millennium; representing the fruit of in-depth dynamics it invites us to give all necessary attention to the concepts of conflict, cooperation and competition.
By reflecting on the possible articulations of these concepts and attempting to apply them in diverse fields of social science the editors give voice to those who are studying the world as it is and perform the service of returning a set of concepts, approaches or paradigms to their legitimate place.
I thank them warmly for offering us this fine volume, which, clearly, will be a milestone.′
Michel Wieviorka, President, International Sociological Association
