With an entire discipline devoted to political science, what is distinctive about political sociology? This concise book explains what a sociological perspective brings to our understanding of the emergence, reproduction, and transformation of different forms of political order.

Bringing together a set of disciplinary approaches, this title presents an examination of the place of voluntary associations in political history and an investigation into contemporary experiments in reshaping that role. It reveals the key role nonprofits have played in the evolution of both the workplace and welfare.
