New Europe: Growth to Limits? How far can the European Union be extended geographically? How far, too, can the four freedoms and the single market be developed? What are the limits to multi-level governance? What, beyond liberal democracy and a market economy, does the union stand for? On these and other questions this book's twenty plus contributions, based on a symposium at the Centre for Social Studies at the Institute for Philosophy and Sociology at the Polish Academy of Science in Warsaw, offer readers rich food for thought. |

Modelling Educational Choice In this rigorous study of French secondary education during the 20th century, Nathalie Bulle provides a simulation of how pupils and their families chose amongst the streams of study available to them. Her research supports the thesis of the relative autonomy of the educational system in relation to other sub-systems of society, and is a major contribution to the sociology of education. |

The Web of Science In this new book on the sociology of stem cell and prion disease research, Michel Dubois explores the dynamics of biomedical science through a study of the networks through which scientific collaboration in this domain has developed. One of his aims is to offer an alternative to the overly simplistic view of scientific transformation popularly associated with the idea of 'technoscience'. His study develops an innovative theory directed towards the renewal of the sociology of science, that defines the main principles of a sociological approach based on scientific action and its often unintended consequences. |

Paul F. Lazarsfeld The articles collected together in Paul F. Lazarsfeld, An Empirical Theory of Social Action demonstrate that many of Paul Lazarsfeld's influential intellectual and methodological concerns that were to so shape the direction of sociology as a discipline in the United States were already evident in his early writings, many of which are published here for the first time in English.
