Research output: ThesisDoctoral thesis 1 (Research UU / Graduation UU)

Abstract

The image of the scientist as a 'lone wolf' has become obsolete. It has been replaced by one which emphasizes cooperation within research groups. In this study the development of eight research groups in Dutch sociology between 1945 and 1990 is described. A discussion of a theoretical model focusing on mechanisms relevant to the development and institutionalization of groups is followed by an analysis of theory groups like 'Modern Sociology' and 'Figurational Sociology' as well as specialty groups such as the 'Leiden School of Stratification and Mobility.' Attention is paid to the state of the art of the discipline, the impact of government policy and the labor market situation for Dutch sociologists.
