Society, Politics and Ideology: This edited volume examines the social sources of ideologies and the ways they operate within political processes by bringing diverse theoretical approaches into dialogue with contemporary debates. Situated at the intersection of political sociology and ideology studies, it offers an integrated framework that invites readers to consider institutions, power relations and contestations over legitimacy across multiple social domains. The volume’s core themes include how regimes of knowledge and disinformation in a digitised public sphere can erode political trust; the production of discipline, surveillance and subjectivity in education; ethical dilemmas, accountability and the fragility of institutional trust in public administration; and the formation of gender regimes and norms of “masculinity” within state–society relations in the early Republican period. In closing, the collection clarifies its conceptual backbone by discussing the social foundations of liberalism, socialism and nationalism through the lenses of class positions, collective identities and institutional mechanisms, thereby bringing the diverse cases into a shared analytical line.
