Göran Therborns Werk befasst sich mit dem komplexen Verhältnis zwischen gesellschaftlichen Klassenstrukturen und der Funktion des Staatsapparates. Er untersucht ausführlich die Ideologiebildung innerhalb von Subjekten und beleuchtet kritisch die zukünftige Entwicklung der marxistischen Tradition. Seine Analysen, die stark von marxistischem Denken geprägt sind, bieten bedeutende Einblicke für den zeitgenössischen politischen und soziologischen Diskurs.
Diese „soziologische Geschichte“ sowohl West- wie Osteuropas präsentiert eine ungewöhnliche Breite sozialer und kultureller Entwicklungsmomente der verschiedenen europäischen Gesellschaften. Dabei geht es insbesondere um Sozialstruktur, Rechtsverhältnisse, Lebenschancen und -risiken, politische Steuerung, kulturelle Prägung, nationale Identitäten und kollektives Handeln. Die vielfältige Themenpalette und der reichhaltige Fundus an Statistiken machen das Werk zu einem unverzichtbaren Handbuch der gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen in Europa.

Inequality is not just about the size of our wallets. It is a socio-cultural
order which, for most of us, reduces our capabilities to function as human
beings, our health, our dignity, our sense of self, as well as our resources
to act and participate in the world.
The distillation of decades of scholarship in urban history and the sociology
of nationalism ... Cities of Power does important work in connecting the look
and feel of cities with their specific national histories. -Max Holleran,
Times Literary Supplement Command of history and knowledge of the real world
inform Göran Therborn's thinking, making him one of the world's most engaging
and intriguing sociologists. Cities of Power focuses our attention on the
places where transforming events happen and helps us understand the current
tensions between states and people, capitals and peripheries, populism and
elitism, nationalism and globalism. -Felipe Fernández-Armesto, author of Our
America: A Hispanic History of the United States Cities of Power ... is
explicitly a riposte to the idea of the Global City, and the peculiar Monocle-
magazine vision of trans-national, interconnected, intangible capitalism that
it serves to alternately describe and vindicate ... Few thinkers display such
a genuinely global range. -Owen Hatherley, New Left Review Therborn's
description of what a global city is provokes legitimate reflection ... Cities
of Power is one more publication in a sparkling list of career accomplishments
and might function as an important resource for many a sociology doctoral
student. -Luzia Lodder, PopMatters Praise for Göran Therborn: Therborn is a
highly conceptual thinker, allying the formal rigor of his discipline at its
best with a command of a vast range of empirical data. The result is a
powerful theoretical structure, supported by a fascinating body of evidence.
-Nation At a time when historians and economists tend to retire behind the
barricades of their increasingly specialized professions, answering the big
comparative questions about the pathways into and out of modernity, the global
processes of inequality and the forces of possible change have been largely
left to the sociologists. In my view, Göran Therborn, probably Sweden's most
distinguished social scientist, has made more essential contributions in these
fields than anyone else, by a combination of analytical lucidity, common sense
and an extraordinary command of international comparative data. -Eric
Hobsbawm, author of The Age of Extremes
