We began with a set of suggestions that drew our attention to how the individual and society are dialectically linked.

Wright Mills rests his vision of the sociological imagination precisely in the unravelling of how the personal and public are related. Activity...
PLURALITIES AND INEQUALITIES AMONG SOCIETIES In the contemporary world we belong, in a sense, to more than one ‘society’.

It can focus its analysis of meaningful interactions between individuals such as that of a shopkeeper with a customer, between teachers and students, between two friends or family members.

Economics is the study of production and distribution of goods and services. The classical economic approach dealt almost exclusively with the inter-relations of pure economic variables: the relations of price, demand and supply; money flows; output and input ratios, and the like. The focus of traditional economics has been on a narrow understandin...
As in the case of economics, there is an increased interaction of methods and approaches between sociology and political science. Conventional political science was focused primarily on two elements: political theory and government administration. Neither branch involves extensive contact with political behaviour.
