Anthony Giddens
Struktury społeczne nie stoją nad nami – podtrzymujemy je przy życiu codziennymi działaniami i możemy je zmieniać.
Umiejscowienie
Jego teoria strukturacji próbuje przezwyciężyć przeciwieństwo struktury i działania: struktury społeczne istnieją tylko w tym, co ludzie robią, a to, co ludzie robią, je odtwarza. Później teoretyk „Trzeciej Drogi”.
Kluczowe idee
- Strukturacja i dwoistość struktury

Teoria strukturacji w pełnym wydaniu: struktury są zarazem medium i wynikiem praktyk, które organizują – „dwoistość struktury”.
Stanowisko
Giddens first made his name by reinterpreting the classics – Marx, Durkheim and Weber – and then set out to overcome the split between theories of structure, such as functionalism, and theories of action, such as interpretive sociology. His theory of structuration, fully set out in The Constitution of Society (1984), holds that structure and agency are not opposites. Structures – rules and resources – exist only in being drawn on by knowledgeable actors, whose actions in turn reproduce or change them, often with unintended consequences: Giddens called this the “duality of structure”. From around 1990 he turned to the nature of late modernity. Modern institutions “disembed” social relations from local contexts and stretch them across time and space through money and expert systems, which we must trust without understanding them. Tradition loses its hold, and identity becomes a reflexive project that each person must keep revising. The Transformation of Intimacy (1992) traced the rise of the “pure relationship”, which lasts only as long as both partners find it satisfying. Politically, his “Third Way” sought a renewed social democracy beyond the old left and the new right – a programme that critics accused of accommodating neoliberalism.
