Théories et pratiques de la sociologie des institutions

"Theories and Practices of the Sociology of Institutions" is a scholarly book that focuses on the analysis and understanding of institutions in society. It examines both classical theories and empirical studies related to contemporary institutions. The author, Massika Lanane, argues that the dichotomy between decaying and stable institutions should be transcended by exploring the social dynamics within these institutions. The book addresses not only major social institutions such as the state, school, and family, but also less defined institutional forms that are studied in various fields of sociology, including political and economic sociology. The content is based on an event held by the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at the University of Béjaia, which dealt with the sociology of institutions in the specific context of Algeria. This work serves as a valuable educational resource for students in the field of sociology, particularly for the module on the sociology of institutions.
