The Contemporary Relevance of a Classic: Max Weber in the 21stCentury
We welcome papers on the following topics:
- the idea and problem of modernity;
- ethics and politics, ethics and science in the contemporary era;
- “heartless professionals”: universal trend and regional specificity;
- parliamentarism, plebiscitary democracy and presidential governance;
- genuine and alleged constitutionalism;
- sociology of journalism and ethical foundations of vocational labor.
The Russian Sociological Review joins the wide international discussion on the actuality of Weber’s conceptual and methodological legacy. Our aim is to integrate the intellectual sources of both Russian and international scholars who today systematically apply a Weberian analysis to the study of society or use his notions and insights ad hoc. The editorial team hopes that the special issue will prompt fruitful conversation between a wide range of authors who actively engage in Weberian ideas.
The deadline for abstract submission is July, 1 2018.
