Eliasian Sociology

Sue Dopson

Chapter 3 in Managing Ambiguity and Change, 1997, pp 37-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One is always aware of the dangers of being seduced by an attractive framework that one feels will assist in bringing order to chaotic empirical material. Nevertheless, Elias’s approach is distinctively different from that of most other sociologists, and the possibility of applying some of Elias’s ideas to the study of health care organization and management is in part the motivation for putting together this book. This chapter considers Elias’s work and argues that, though his approach has not been applied to the analysis of health care organizations,1 it has much to offer those involved in research in the area of NHS organization and management.
