What drives social change - and how does control persist?
This book offers a bold and original framework for understanding how domination and autonomy constantly shift within our relationships, institutions and political systems. Drawing on both classical and contemporary theory, Browne traces how struggles against injustice generate change—while also giving rise to new forms of control.
From the workplace to the state, this book explores how power is negotiated, resisted and reasserted. Setting out an innovative agenda for critical social theory, it reveals how the push for greater autonomy drives both social conflict and institutional transformation.
