Summary:

The matter of social order was developed as a rule in macro-theories such as functionalism or Marxism, which saw the order as constructed by shared norms, values, distribution of labour, power or property. The book attempts to trace the ideas of social order in the Buryat culture and its metaphoric structure using the interpretivist approach as shared sense-making practices. The fieldwork data and analysis of various literature form a grounded theory of social order that could contribute to existing sociological and anthropological perspectives.
