International Studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology is a peer-reviewed series that explores the relationships between civil society, the state, and the structures and institutions spanning both. It does so at an historic time in which the processes of globalization increase the diversity, complexity and pluralism of contemporary societies, challenging social cohesion and fostering new identities and new forms of conflict.
The series upholds paradigmatic and methodological pluralism, interdisciplinarity, and evidence-based comparative research.
Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
• Major theories and theorists of civil society and the state, including of the comparative analysis of societies and political regimes.
• Political trust, transparency, and accountability in contemporary democracies.
• Cohesion and identities in the various regions of the world.
• Globalism, cosmopolitanism, and cultural flows.
• Social movements, minority rights, and interaction networks.
• Varieties of capitalism, economic crises, and sustainable development.
• Law and society.
• New forms of nationalism and populism.
Contributions are relevant for scholars, researchers, students and interested readers in the academic fields of sociology, political science, cultural anthropology, contemporary history, comparative law, international studies.
