A political regime is a set of political structures that make up a state. These political systems range from direct democracies to totalitarian regimes, such as military dictatorships. Common systems in the modern world include democratic republics, monarchies, and representative democracies.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Pierre Bourdieu (August 1, 1930 â January 23, 2002) was an acclaimed French sociologist and writer known for his outspoken political views and public engagement.
In âFor the Social History of the Present: Bourdieu as Historical Sociologist,â Craig Calhoun makes the case for seeing Bourdieu as a historical sociologist, in the sense that âsocial transformations â and their limits and unintended consequences â were core foci of his sociological projectâ (p.36).Historyâ here is the simple but mind-opening idea that the social world is always being made, unmade, or held in place by real social actors, that it was different in the past and can be (made to be, though not easily) different in the future.
