Princeton Studies in Global and Comparative Sociology¹¹

Andreas Wimmer, Series Editor

An increasing number of social scientists are no longer content with focusing on a single society but are keen to explore processes that affect all societies or that can be understood only through systematic comparisons across them. The Princeton Series in Global and Comparative Sociology aims to publish books that dare to compare either by focusing on global phenomena or by studying social processes across countries and continents.
