About the Book

The professions are currently the focus of vigorous debate within sociology and social history. This book and its companion volume bring together researchers from continental Europe and from the English-speaking world to highlight the contrasting perspectives of the two traditions and to emphasize what they can learn from each other. The present volume concentrates on the formation of the professions and the relationship of this to knowledge and the state. It shows that there are different routes into professionalism and that the knowledge of the prospective professionals and the actions of the state play different roles in strategies for the formation of professions. It stresses the centrality of the theory of professions and professionalization for analysis of these relations between knowledge, state and strategy. Some of the authors discuss existing theory, noting its limitations in regard to knowledge and state, and suggesting new paths for its development. Others present empirical findings to explore variations in the actions of specific knowledge-based groups, and the ways in which new kinds of knowledge have altered their behaviour, and either threatened existing institutions or been incorporated and turned to their advantage.
