Anthem Companion to Philip Selznick

Paul van Seters was Professor of Legal Sociology at Tilburg Law School, Tilburg University, The Netherlands (1978–1999). Since 1999, he is Professor of Globalization and Sustainable Development at Tilburg University.

The Anthem Companions to Sociology offers wide ranging and masterly overviews of the works of major sociologists. The volumes in the series provide authoritative and critical appraisals of key figures in modern social thought. These books, written and edited by leading figures, are essential additional reading on the history of sociology. — Gerard Delanty, Professor of Sociology, University of Sussex, Brighton
