Book Description
Among all sociologists in the world born after 1900, Amitai Etzioni ranks ninth in total citations. One reason for this is his thousands of publications span theory, organizations, international politics, democratic politics, socio-economics and communitarianism, and they have been adopted in undergraduate coursework within each of these areas. Written for social theorists as well as general readers (including undergraduates) David Sciulli’s book is the first to explain not only how but also why Amitai Etzioni’s publications evolved from his dissertation to Active Society and Socio-Economics to Communitarianism.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Si la mesure de l’hommage que l’on peut rendre à un auteur est de prendre son travail au sérieux, alors Amitai Etzioni a trouvé un lecteur digne de sa riche production.” J. Dean, Revue d’Histoire et de Philosophie Religieuses, Vol. 90, No. 2, pp. 355-356.
