| 520 | |a In this chapter, I reflect on how the field of analytical sociology has developed since the late 1990s. I discuss briefly the birth of analytical sociology, what motivated its emergence, and what its most essential characteristics are.

In particular, I focus on the role of action-based explanations of macro-level change. I argue that analytical sociologists should be less wedded to intentional explanations, and instead focus their efforts on constructing empirically plausible and empirically verifiable models of action and interaction. | ||
