In the last decade of this century, sociology has grown into a major contributor to public debate and social policy. After a period of introspection and uncertainty, sociologists are becoming more self-confident about their subject's potential to influence events in the world at large. In this book, a collection of essays debate what this means for the way sociology is professionally practised in areas as diverse as regulating medicine, combating racism, managing manufacturing, evaluating wealth and poverty, and structuring education. The issues and opportunities they identify should interest both sociologists and other social scientists concerned with moving ideas into a framework for social action. Geoff Payne is the author of "Sociology and Social Research", "New Directions in the Sociology of "Health" (with Pamela Abbott) and "The Social Mobility of Women". Malcolm Cross is the author of "Ethnic Minorities and Industrial Change in Europe and North America" and "Racism, the City and the State" (with Michael Keith).
