Through a series of studies, this book presents Durkheim as an important political sociologist. Looking beyond the conservative elements of Durkheim's thought, it argues that a radical sociology can be found in Durkheim's normative vision, shaped by what we might call libertarian socialism.

An insightful and engaging exploration of social theory and its role in enacting social change, this unique text demonstrates how the work of social theorists and sociological thinking can be used to develop ideas for alternative societies.
