The Analysis of Political Systems: International Library of Sociology C: Political Sociology (International Library of Sociology)

Published in 1998, The Analysis of Political Systems is a valuable contribution to the field of Sociology & Social Policy. The International Library of Sociology (ILS) is the most important series of books on sociology ever published. Founded in the 1940s by Karl Mannheim, the series became the forum for pioneering research and theory, marked by comparative approaches and analysis of new disciplines, such as the sociology of youth and culture. Spanning volumes by Parsons, Dickinson and Ossowski, the history of the ILS is the history of modern sociology. Young people are educable. Young people are worth educating. Upon their wise handling depend the issues of ultimate harmonyor conflict in the home, in workshop or factory, and among thenations. Many current methods of treatment find, however, theirjustification only in the somewhat mythical descriptions of pastcenturies. For most of these there is little support in the morecareful studies of recent years Originally published between 1943 and 1969, titles in this set were written against a backdrop of rapid and radical political change. This set contains volumes by key political and sociological thinkers, including Bernard Crick. Covering topics as wide-ranging as European Federalism, Democracy and Dictatorship and Voting, these titles are as relevant today as when they were first published. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
