Lasswell, one of the twentieth century's most formidable political theorists, whose collected writings in On Political Sociology present a sweeping synthesis of political science and sociological thought. Edited and introduced by Dwaine Marvick, this volume draws together Lasswell's most incisive essays and arguments, chronicling his lifelong inquiry into how political power is distributed, who wields it, and what psychological and social forces shape its exercise — questions as urgent today as when he first posed them.\n\nPart of the prestigious Heritage of Sociology series edited by Morris Janowitz, this collection illustrates Lasswell's remarkable ability to bridge empirical rigor and humanistic insight, constructing a framework for political analysis that remains foundational to the discipline. His prose is precise yet expansive, moving fluently between case studies, theoretical abstractions, and bold normative claims about democracy and governance. For scholars, students, and intellectually curious readers alike, this volume raises a provocative question: in an age of shifting political landscapes, can Lasswell's vision of a policy science oriented toward human dignity still serve as our compass?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203139346651,"sku":"2026200014856-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/47d640dd-a2fb-4596-a6e4-41431f857348.png?v=1788144692","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014856-secondhand-on-political-sociology","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
