Social Theory and Postcommunism undertakes a thorough study of the implications of post-communism for sociological theory. Written by two leading social theorists, the book discusses the thesis that the fall of communism has decimated alternative conceptions of social organizations other than capitalism.

• Analyzes the implications of the fall of communism on social theory
• Discusses alternative ideas of social organizations other than capitalism, in the wake of the collapse of communism
• Covers state/civil society, globalization, the future of “modernity,” and post-socialism
