2005. Vol. 6. No. 5

The author tries to demonstrate the differences and points for integration of socio-economics and economic sociology. This is the first detailed review on this issue that was done in Russian language.

Paradoxical, but we could not find any thoughtful review about the situation in the USA, where the economic sociology takes the leading positions. However the Journal (and the Reader of “Western Economic Sociology”) published the famous paper by Richard Swedberg “New Economic Sociology: What Has Been Accomplished, What Is Ahead?” (2004. Т. 5. № 4. С. 37–55). But it was more review of the main fields of the new economic sociology raised in the USA than the pure country review.  Finally we managed to find the text which describes the detailed history of the new economic sociology appearance in the USA. The analysis was done in relation both towards key researchers and research groups and universities.  The text is published in the rubric of “New Translations”. The authors of this material are the French scientists. 

Basing on the ethnographical cases and analysis of the first documents and interviews the author of the paper demonstrates how the practices of personnel management do differ depending on the enterprise goals.  

Here is the short version of the master thesis that was devoted to the problem of articulation of the stratification categories in mass media press in 1995-2003. The paper analyses the usage of the different categories in scientific sociological papers and mass media press. With the help of the electronic data set “Integrum” the author presents the analysis of the frequencies of these categories usage and meanings that are put into them.  The research comprises both stratification and ideological aspects. As the result plenty of cases were described when and how the terms were used in different types of information sources.
