About the Book

This book introduces social scientists to the difference that critical realism can make to theorising and methodological problems within the contemporary social sciences. The chapters, which cover such topics as cultural studies, feminism, globalization, heterodox economics, education policy, the self, and the 'underclass' debate, are arranged in four sections dealing with some of the major topics in contemporary social science: ethics, the consequences of the 'linguistic turn', methodology and globalization.

Table of Contents

Part II: Social Science and Critique after the Linguistic Turn
Part III: Method, Politics and Policy
Part IV: Political Economy and Globalism
