"The Constitution of Society: Outline of the Theory of Structuration" by Anthony Giddens is a foundational text that introduces and elaborates on Giddens' theory of structuration. This theory is a significant contribution to sociology and social theory, as it attempts to bridge the divide between individual agency and structural determinism. Giddens argues that social life is not merely a series of random individual actions nor solely the outcome of overarching social structures. Instead, it is constituted through the interplay of both structure and agency. In other words, while social structures shape individual behaviors and opportunities, individuals also have the capacity to act independently and influence these structures. In "The Constitution of Society," Giddens provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how societies are structured.
