Macro_Social_Structure_Theory encompasses theoretical perspectives that examine society at the broadest level, focusing on large-scale social institutions, systems, and their interconnections. These theories analyse how entire societies or global systems maintain stability, distribute power, and organise themselves structurally. Functionalist approaches within this category emphasise social equilibrium, institutional interdependence, and the mechanisms that maintain social order through shared values and norms. Power distribution theories examine whether control is concentrated among elites or distributed across multiple interest groups. World-systems theories explore global economic hierarchies and the interdependence of nations within capitalist structures. These macro-level perspectives share a common concern with understanding overarching social patterns, institutional arrangements, and systemic processes that shape entire societies or global systems, often emphasizing structural forces over individual agency in explaining social phenomena and change.
