sociology of governance

If sociology is the study of society, and governance is the activity of managing or ruling human affairs, then the sociology of governance is the study of the societal dimensions of managing human affairs. No established subfield named the “sociology of governance” exists within the discipline of sociology, as does for example the “sociology of religion.” Nevertheless, this entry argues that classical and contemporary sociology has much to say about the theory and practice of governance.
