control systems theories in sociology

Edición de la obra Purpose, meaning, and action

"Control Systems Theory, a newly developing theoretical perspective in the field of sociology, starts from an important insight into human behavior: that people attempt to control the world around them as they perceive it. This volume brings together for the first time the work of all of the most prominent sociologists contributing to the development of this flexible and wide-ranging theoretical paradigm."--Jacket.
