Social Theory and Postcommunism undertakes a thorough study
of the implications of post-communism for sociological theory.
Written by two leading social theorists, the book discusses the
thesis that the fall of communism has decimated alternative
conceptions of social organizations other than capitalism.
* Analyzes the implications of the fall of communism on social
theory
* Discusses alternative ideas of social organizations other than
capitalism, in the wake of the collapse of communism
* Covers state/civil society, globalization, the future of
‘modernity, ‘ and post-socialism
