It is common to hear that we live in unique, turbulent and crisis-ridden times and this turbulence, transformation and crisis are said to be deeply significant - perhaps threatening - for the human sciences. Responding to such claims, this book provides an accessible engagement with pressing contemporary topics, such as violence, social movements, equality, identity and democracy. Foregrounding the imagination of possibilities (utopia), the mapping of the present (theory), and the transformation of the world-system (historical and global questions), the book surveys central issues and paradigms in contemproary political sociology, urging a recommitment to certain concepts and traditions for guidance in thinking and acting in the world.

"In recent decades there has been many attempts to describe, explore and explain the new 'post-modern' capitalism of the 21st century. In this context, this book looks at one of the most exciting strands of this research in the late twentieth century: the flexible specialisation research programme. Drawing on the history of ideas, discourse, and literature on capitalism of the last four decades, the book shows that although 'flexible specialization' anticipated some of the ways in which capitalism was being transformed in the late twentieth century, they underestimated and failed to anticipate the forms of 'creative destruction' and corporate digital control which were becoming embedded in the global capitalist accumulation dynamic itself. The sudden disappearance of the Soviet Union and the 'end of history' failed to open-up the pathway for new forms of modern social democracy but gave rise instead to the new digital Behemoths. Today, the classical tendencies of capitalism as anticipated by Marx are all too present and, despite talk of post-capitalism' and 'digital/techno-feudalism', the landscape of monopoly-finance capital has consolidated itself. The book counterposes the flexible specialisation research programme (FSRP) with the various Marxist interpretation of the capitalist transition, together with the wider social and economic theories that emerged in the first decades for the twenty-first century around, for example, the 'great acceleration', de-growth, and post-growth. This book will be of interest to all readers concerned with both heterodox political economy, critical social theory, intellectual history and, above all, the prospects for social transformation leading to social justice and an 'egalitarian enlightenment'"--
