This book critically examines Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the state by assessing its theoretical and empirical value. Steven Loyal expertly situates Bourdieu's work within the context of both classical and modern theories of the state, providing a comprehensive frame of reference. Finally, Loyal discusses Bourdieu's theoretical limitations and projects how his theory of the state might be utilized in the future. Steven Loyal is Associate Professor at the School of Sociology at University College Dublin, Ireland. His areas of interest include sociological theory, migration, the sociology of knowledge, social stratification, and historical sociology. .

Norbert Elias has been described as a great sociologist and over recent years there has been a steady upsurge of interest in his work. Yet despite the fact that he was active for nearly sixty years from the 1920s to the 1960s it was only in the 1980s that English translations of his works became widely available and the importance of his contribution to the sociological endeavour was fully recognised in the English speaking world. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the key aspects of Elias's work and then applies an Eliasian approach to key topics in contemporary sociology such as race, class, gender, religion, epistemology and nationalism. The editors have brought together a distinguished group of international sociologists and this book will not only change the course of Elias studies but be a valuable resource for both students and scholars alike.

‘Readers will benefit hugely from this original and timely sociological analysis of nation states’ responses to asylum seekers. Loyal and Quilley provide a socio-historical awareness that is often missing from public debate. Focusing on the case of Ireland, they develop a sophisticated analytical framework of broader significance. A much-needed book that deserves to be widely discussed within and beyond academia.’ —Rubén Flores, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Higher School of Economics, Russia ‘Migration is an emotive and politically explosive topic, but Loyal and Quilley stand back and detachedly set it in historical and global context. They focus especially on Ireland, which went abruptly from nearly two centuries of being a land from which people emigrated to being one to which they immigrated in substantial numbers. This makes for a fascinating case study of international interest.’ —Stephen Mennell, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University College Dublin, Ireland Detailing the reception, treatment and sometimes, eventual deportation, of asylum seekers in Ireland, Loyal and Quilley discuss contemporary immigration issues in light of the overall social, historical, and economic development of Irish society and state immigration policy. State Power and Asylum Seekers in Ireland will interest scholars and students of historical sociology, sociological theory and social policy, political sociology, migration and the psycho-social experience of asylum seekers. Steven Loyal is Associate Professor in the School of Sociology at University College Dublin, Ireland. Stephen Quilley is Associate Professor of Social and Ecological Innovation at the University of Waterloo, Canada.
