<p></p><p>In this two-volume set, Larry D. Barnett delves into the macrosociological sources of law concerned with society-important social activities in a structurally complex, democratically governed nation. Barnett explores why, when, and where particular proscriptions and prescriptions of law on key social activities arise, persist, and change.<br><br>The first volume, <i>Societal Agents in Law: A Macrosociological Approach</i>, puts relevant doctrines of law into a macrosociological framework, uses the findings of quantitative research to formulate theorems that identify the impact of several society-level agents on doctrines of law, and takes the reader through a number of case analyses. The second volume, <i>Societal Agents in Law: Quantitative Research</i>, reports original multivariate statistical studies of sociological determinants of law on specific types of key social activities.<br><br>Taken together, the two volumes offer an alternative to the almost-total monopoly of theory and descriptive scholarship in the macrosociology of law, comparative law, and history of law, and underscore the value of a mixed empirical/theoretical approach. </p><p></p>
