| Popis: | In this important book, Margaret Somers sets herself the ambitious task of developing an analytic and empirical approach to citizenship as ‘‘the right to have rights’’ and elaborates an ‘‘architectonics of citizenship’’ (p. 35) in terms of the historical, contemporary, and normative ‘‘triadic’’ institutional assemblage of state, market, and civil society (p. 30). Her main adversary is market fundamentalism in all its varieties. The book offers many profound insights into the genealogies of concept formation relevant to her task, and ranges across a wide array of what she calls ‘‘knowledge cultures’’ (p. 51). As such, it is a most worthy read for all social scientists. |
