This insightful Research Handbook provides an in-depth survey of global historical sociology. Expert contributors explore this rich, interdisciplinary field, which sits at the crossroads between history, sociology, and other social sciences including economics, demography, geography, and political science.

In an engaging and accessible style, expert scholars and practitioners discuss past and state-of-the-art research, exploring theory, research design, data, empirical results, and ways forward in their field. Key themes include social inequality, social solidarity, institutions, family, and demography. In particular, chapters highlight how both the spatial and temporal aspects of historical sociology are integral to understanding societies. While quantitative datasets are growing bigger and more encompassing, the contributing authors emphasize the continued need for theoretical approaches to bridge the gaps between quantitative and qualitative methods.

The Research Handbook on Historical Sociology is an essential resource for students and academics in sociology, history, and economics, as well as researchers and practitioners across the social sciences looking to understand social change over time.

Edited by Marco H.D. van Leeuwen, Professor of Sociology, Utrecht University and Research Fellow, International Institute of Social History, the Netherlands
