Structure and Action in the Works of Anthony Giddens

Sažetak
The paper presents Giddens' theoretical conceptualisation of the relationship between human agency and social structure. Along with the introduction and the closing part, the paper is thematically structured around this basic problem. The core of the paper consists of three analytical parts: Agency and the Acting Subject, Structure, and Structural Analysis. As each title suggests,
the relationship between agency and structure is approached firstly on a micro level, from the actors standpoint, this is followed by a presentation of Giddens' idea of the duality of structure, and finally the problem was put in the context of social macro analysis.
In the closing part the author delivers a brief interpretation of Giddens' conceptualisation of the relationship between agency and structure, emphasising criticism on reified forms of thinking.
