More than 25 years after the publication of the last overview volume on political sociology, this edited volume summarizes the current state of research in political sociology at the intersection of political science and sociology. Distinguished researchers provide insights into the theoretical and conceptual foundations and developments of the central sub-disciplines of political sociology, such as research on values and attitudes, electoral and party sociology, parliamentary studies, as well as political participation and communication research. The comprehensive overview of fundamental terms, concepts, and analytical tools is complemented not only by empirical findings but also offers an overview of the analysis and research designs in political sociology, its central research methods, and applications.
