Book ChapterDOI
Power, the Dialectic of Control and Class Structuration
TL;DR: The theory of structuration is based upon the following claims: that social theory (which I take to be relevant equally to each of the social scientific disciplines: sociology, anthropology, psychology and economics, as well as history) should incorporate an understanding of human behaviour as action; such an understanding has to be made compatible with a focus upon the structural components of social institutions or societies; and notions of power and domination are logically, not just contingently, associated with the concepts of action and structure as I conceptualise them as discussed by the authors.
