Reviews

this book outlines structure and agency as a key to understanding the mechanisms of ontology within social science. Prominent social scientists including Giddens and Archer have suggested that the 'Structure-Agency' question is the most important theoretical issue within the human sciences. In dealing with the structure and agency debate, it has been argued, and in my own opinion, it should be recognised as central to the way we study politics and the social sciences in particular.
