| Abstract: | There exist a variety of approaches to defining "class" but, as Joppke (1986, p. 55) points out, none of these approaches can avoid addressing, in a sympathetic or critical manner, "the two main sociological traditions which - more or less in mutual rivalry - have shaped the discussion on class up to the present" These are the Marxist and Weberian analyses of class, and it is this classical sociological tradition that needs to be briefly addressed first before we consider the structure of power relations in Malta. |
