Preferred term

micro-macro integration  

Definition

  • One of the most important developments in recent sociological theory has been the move toward an integration of microlevels and macrolevels of analysis. This does not mean to imply that there was a hard and fast line between microlevel and macrolevel perspectives previously, it was indeed a continuum, but rather that the integration of the two has come to be a larger focus than either one of them individually.
