Yet, there seem to be as many definitions of the term as there are sociologists, and we often struggle to articulate accessible yet precise accounts of structures that can guide empirical research and other kinds of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJonathan Eastwood offers a set of pragmatic strategies for thinking about social structures, emphasising ways in which we can approach them as complex lacings of relationships, representations, and rules. He then teases out a variety of implications of these strategies for qualitative and quantitative research, the analysis of social problems, and the implementation of social policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as fellow scholars, this insightful book contributes to our understanding of this fundamental and dynamic ingredient of social life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471578710252,"sku":"9781509561933","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509561933-social-structure.jpg?v=1775247251"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jonathan-eastwood.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
