Title

Social systems theory, Postmodernity and the region

Abstract

The preoccupation with postmodern deconstruction has dimmed the light on the movement of social systems theory toward reconstruction. Yet this theory exhibits a certain affinity with the recently emerging forms of socio-spatial theory, and offers applicability in diverse fields of social scientific inquiry. By means of a deconstructive and reconstructive scrutiny of its key dimensions, social systems theory is brought into a challenging debate on Postmodernity. Finally, the relevance of social systems theory for the region as an appropriate theoretical object is assessed. -Author
