This volume offers a redefinition of the welfare state as a power process that involves shifts in relative emphasis on both corporate and social welfare processes and expenditures. Through an analysis of the 1989 savings and loan bailout, the authors reveal the dynamics of the welfare process, and provide central case studies and a conceptual framework for policy debates on welfare "as we know it."

Most Americans assume that the United States provides a gold standard for human rights. By contrast, the contributors to this volume argue that many of the greatest immediate and structural threats to human rights, and some of the most significant efforts to realize human rights in practice, can be found in our own backyard. Human Rights in Our Own Backyard examines the state of human rights and responses to human rights issues, drawing on sociological literature and perspectives to interrogate assumptions of American exceptionalism.

(This book presents a framework for understanding human ri...)
This book presents a framework for understanding human rights as a terrain of struggle over power between states, private interests, and organized, “bottom-up” social movements. The authors develop critical sociology of human rights focusing on the concept of the human rights enterprise: the process through which rights are defined and realized.

The State of State Theory: State Projects, Repression, and Multi-Sites of Power, Glasberg, Willis, and Shannon argue that state theories should be amended to account both for theoretical developments broadly in the contemporary period as well as the multiple sites of power along which the state governs. Using state projects and policies around political economy, sexuality and family, food, welfare policy, racial formation, and social movements as narrative accounts in how the state operates, the authors argue for a complex and intersectional approach to state theory.
