- Bruno Latour is one of the leading sociologists in the world
today.
- The author was give unparalleled access to this closed and
hugely important institution of the French state, the Conseil
d’Etat, and was able to carry out an in-depth study of how it
works.
- His distinctive method – the ethnography of institutions
– will be regarded by some as a model for a new kind of
political sociology.
- This fascinating study takes Latour’s work in new directions, beyond the sociology of science and into the political sociology of the modern state.
