At a time when mediations between citizens and statehood are rapidly changing, it argues that a sociological approach is urgently needed to address conceptual deficits and explain how the formal mechanisms of democratic statehood can be complemented and updated.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889331028119,"sku":"9781526105844","price":9470.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781526105844.webp?v=1781175815","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/critical-theory-and-sociological-theory-on-late-modernity-and-social-statehood-9781526105844","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
