Part of the Sociology Transformed book series (SOTR)

Abstract

The infrastructure affecting the production of sociological knowledge in NZ is outlined and its various effects pinpointed. Links between local and international sociologies are discussed. The expected asymmetrical pattern is found, but some reverse cultural traffic is also documented. The various forms of output from NZ sociology are documented, encompassing a substantial but variegated output across books, journal articles, and other formats.
