Summary: Actor-Network Theory is one of the most influential approaches to social theory to have emerged in recent years. Combining post-structuralist insights with robustly empirical studies of subjectivities, technologies, organisations, power, and social ordering, it has challenged and helped to set intellectual agendas not only in sociology and technoscience studies, but also in anthropology, economics, feminism, geography, philosophy and organisation studies. But what are its strengths and its weaknesses? And what are its prospects? This major reference volume explores ANT's achievements, and looks to a future in which many of its lessons are being assimilated by other disciplines.
