Elgar Encyclopedia of Political Sociology

Edited by Maria Grasso, Professor of Political Science and Political Sociology, School of Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary University of London, UK and Marco Giugni, Professor, Department of Political Science and International Relations and Director, Institute of Citizenship Studies (InCite), University of Geneva, Switzerland

‘It is no easy task assembling an Encyclopedia of political sociology which needs, at the same time, to be comprehensive and authoritative. This is both in equal respect. A major reference point and a significant statement as to the identity of political sociology today.’
