Originally published in 1992, this book is an original contribution to overcoming the impasse of 'totalizing' theories in the sociology of development by arguing for an actor-oriented approach to the analysis of social change.

Although primarily addressed to a sociological, anthropological and development studies audience, the book will also be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in political science, communication studies, human geography and qualitative research methodology.
