This exciting new text represents a new generation in employment relations. Recognizing that ER has moved on, the authors take the employment relationship as the central concept and examine the issues from 'inside the employment relationship, looking out' rather than the traditional approach of looking at the factors that impinge upon the employment relationship. While the basic approach is value free, every opportunity is taken to highlight alternative ways of thinking about the Employment Relationship.

Doing Research in Business and Management: an essential guide to planning your project

Robert Dingwall and Philip Lewis's renowned compilation of diverse chapters--written by internationally recognized theorists and empirical researchers into the sociology of the professions--was groundbreaking when first published in 1983 and has influenced scholars, practitioners, and professionals since. Not limited to one occupation or field, as are most such studies, this collection examines across traditional fields the idea and practice of professions and professionals. The 2016 hardcover edition features a substantive foreword by Professor Sida Liu of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He notes that this book "is a rare effort to fully compare the two classic cases of doctors and lawyers in the professions literature. The contributors of the book include a number of prominent authors on the professions in Britain and the United States. Until today, it remains a vitally important volume for scholars and students interested in various aspects of professional life." "Looking back," Liu adds, "one must be struck by the extent to which theorists of professions and empirical researchers on doctors and lawyers from both the UK and US fully engage with one another throughout the book." He concludes that re-emergence of "this excellent book three decades after its initial publication will reconfirm its status as a classic collection of essays on the professions." 'The Sociology of the Professions' brings together enduring work by some of the most influential writers on the sociology of the professions. It is a deliberate attempt to extend the theoretical basis of the specialty by a comparative approach, using data and interviews on medicine and law. Recognized advances in understanding the professions resulted from the work of medical sociologists on the division of labor in health care and on the relation between health services and society. Their foundation, though, appeared uncertain in the absence of comparable material on other sectors. At the same time, the sociology of law has tended to neglect the study of the profession in favor of the analysis of statutes and their effects. But law is not just what is written in legislation; it is people's work. Our understanding of the social organization of legal services is incomplete without that perspective. The contributors to this volume are recognized authorities from a variety of fields, from the UK and US. They include Dingwall and Lewis, as well as Paul Atkinson, Maureen Cain, John Eekelaar, Eliot Freidson, Marc Galanter, Gordon Horobin, Malcolm Johnson, Geoff Mungham, Topsy Murray, Alan Paterson, Dietrich Rueschemeyer, P.M. Strong, and Philip Thomas. Their studies fall into three categories: "Professions, Knowledge and Power," "Professional Work," and "Professional Careers." The volume retains a comprehensive bibliography in law, medicine, and beyond. Reviews of the original edition include: "Dingwall and Lewis have provided an exemplar of what an edited volume can be. Its comparativism, its span of European and American scholarship, its internal debates, its efforts to press into new theoretical terrain, all add to a refreshing and challenging collection. In fact, this volume would be a far better entree to the enduring questions of professions in modern societies than the limp alternatives too frequently served in its place." - Terence Halliday, Social Forces "This anthology provides an exceptionally literate assessment of past research and a coherent statement of the research agenda for the future." - Eve Spangler, Contemporary Sociology Part of the 'Classics of the Social Sciences' Series by Quid Pro Books, now in a library-quality hardcover edition."

All four of the bombers involved in 7/7, the deadly attack on London's transport system in July 2005, were aged 30 or under. The spectre of extremist Islam looms large and Muslim youth in the UK are increasingly linked to radical Islamic movements. A clear, balanced examination of this complex issue is long overdue. Philip Lewis sets out to address this by looking at the lives and beliefs of young Muslims aged 18 to 30, against a backdrop of the problems any migrant community face. Beginning with an overview of British Muslim communities, he goes on to explore the nature of the intergenerational gap in the Muslim community, showing how normal tensions are exaggerated as children are educated in a language and culture different to that of their parents. Patriarchal 'clan politics' and a breakdown in communication between young Muslims and traditional Muslim leaders are dispossessing Islamic youth, leading a small but significant minority to turn to radical groups for somewhere to belong and something to believe in. Lewis concludes by identifying a generational shift from 'clan politics' to what he calls a 'new professionalism' and demonstrates how new organizations and networks of Muslim thinkers are springing up all the time - allowing young Muslims to find positive identities and outlets for their concerns and energies.
