SPERIAMO DI RISENTIRCI PRESTO...è UN DURO LAVORO MA AFFASCINANTE

:)

I would start with Barrington Moore Junior's superb classic The Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy and use the bibliography.  He deals with the theories and of course advances his own. 

Another great starting point is Amartya Sen and capabilities theory of course.

Hope that helps a bit

Thanks a lot Richard! I'll look for Moore's classic! Thanks a lot!

Sandro

You are very welcome Alessandro, Barrington Moore is a great read.  OK, not so new (like Marx, Weber, Durkheim etc!), but still terrific.

M. N Srinivas could be considered as a primer to get perspectives on caste and caste system

Thank you Yamuna!
