Krause's innovative framework [is] explicitly conceived not as a formal causal theory but as a series of loosely linked propositions that can guide both researchers and activists. The framework highlights, above all, the determination of the division of labor by ceaseless struggle among competing groups.... Krause emphasizes subjectivity and historical particularity. He seeks modest theory, respectful of real-world complexity, grounded in close empirical studies of limited cases, and, most important, closely linked to practice and activism. The emphasis on application and practice is especially refreshing.-Contemporary Sociology
