European Society by William Outhwaite

European Society by William Outhwaite

Does it make sense to speak of a European society, above and beyond its component states and regions? In this major new book William Outhwaite argues that it does.

"How refreshing to encounter a book which not only seeks to understand the social transformations of Europe but also attends to matters of the European economy and the European stateThis is a sociology book which ‘ticks all the right boxes' for students of political science, and, at the same time, advances a particularly sociological approach to the study of Europe ... It should become essential reading, not only for sociology students and those following European Studies courses, but also for a range of scholars from disciplines that have hitherto viewed 'European society' as alien territory."
British Journal of Sociology

"By drawing on a wide range of empirical and theoretical studies, Outhwaite has written a readable and accessible book on contemporary European society."
Sociology

"An insightful study of the emerging shape of Europe. Outhwaite skillfully demonstrates the significance of a European as opposed to a national level of analysis. A lot of ground is covered in this excellent short book."
Gerard Delanty, University of Sussex
