The book presents an authoritative assessment of Norbert Elias (1897-1990). It recognizes Elias as one of the major contributors to the development of sociological tradition in the past century and charts the continuing relevance of his conception of sociology for contemporary society. Only toward the end of his career as an academic did Elias's work begin to attract the attention of English-speaking sociologists, historians, and scholars of cultural studies.
The book provides an authoritative and broad representation of Elias's oeuvre and work inspired by it. While Elias is best known for his major study of The Civilizing Process, the reach and subtle depths of Elias's conception of process sociology has been cemented more recently by the English-language publication of Elias's collected work of 18 volumes. The baton of process sociology is being passed on to further generations of sociologists.

Chapters from leading contributors outline the nature of the sociological practice of Elias and address fundamental questions of historical sociology, democratization, gender, racialization processes, and embodiment. Later chapters highlight the contribution of process sociology for understanding developments in nation, state and global sociology, criminology, art, and education.
