| Summary: | This paper argues for the validity of treating ideology as an independent variable along with economic and political variables in theories of social change. Complementary theories of economic, politicaly and ideological change should enrich grand theories of social change like those of Max Weber. The logical/analytical structures of Wallerstein's theory of the world economic system and Collins' theory of geopolitical change are used to propose some elements of a theory of ideological change. Finally, some applications of the theory are suggested as possible contributions to ongoing questions in studies of the radical Reformation |
