Recent theories of society and social change have become caught in a dilemma. A renewed focus on individual agency, on beliefs and values and on cultural processes falls short of any adequate specification of social structural process. Sociological researchers have often made a leap of faith between agency and structure, and between norms and concrete social relations. This book explores a range of areas, including the changing shape of gender, work and family, life course processes, ethnicity and class-related hierarchy. Within the literatures across all these areas there are problems of
analysis due to a conceptual gap between normative processes and social structural processes. We need to reconnect the normative and social structural. This book tackles these analytic problems by treating evidence of a gap between norms and social relations as a puzzle of explanation, rather than as a feature of social systems. To move forward we need to renew our understanding of the nature of social structure, and construe it as a dynamic process in which norms play an integral part. The latter decades of the twentieth century onwards have been characterised by marked changes across most domains of social life. There have been significant developments in family organisation and in the fabric of family life, and in ties of intimacy, interdependence, care and commitment more widely. There have been important changes in patterns of fertility, increasing childlessness, significant increases in divorce, a growing proportion of single parent households, cohabiting partnerships and independent living.
