Tilly argues for a shift in social sciences from individual to social relationships. Societies are not autonomous systems, and social inquiry should concentrate on relationships and activities. Inquiry into how societies form and change may may be local or transnational, and it may involve other relationships and activities. How such inquiry should be carried out is unclear, although there are several possible examples available.
