This article explores the role of theory-building in social stratification research, a sub-field of sociology whose theoretical development has not kept pace with methodological, statistical, and empirical advancements. In particular, the article proposes a new conceptual framework based on social mechanisms and the multileveled nature of the stratification process. Conceptual frameworks, which map out general principles of social organisation and social processes, are useful in guiding researchers' choice of methods and research resign. The authors argue that the identification of social mechanisms needs to be a core aspect of sociological explanation, and thus integrated into the conceptual frameworks researchers use. They apply social mechanisms to a conception of social change involving micro-to-macro linkages. The resulting conceptual framework is then applied to stratification research, where the authors observe that the micro-to-macro linkage is one of the least explored, and also one of the most promising, areas of future research, particularly for areas of the world undergoing rapid social transformation.

The research works which have considerable shortcomings regarding their theoretical and empirical content as well as their analysis systematics are still not rare in sociology. The author thinks that such state of affairs can be overcome by virtue of orientation to “logos”, which takes its shape in the explanatory-analytical scheme called in international sociologic slang the Coleman’s bath. Development of the analytical paradigm promises to overcome eclecticism and dissociation in sociological theory and gives the basic conceptual apparatus for accumulating the empirical results, being in consecutive relation with each other. This will help sociologists to get rid of the widespread inclination to the descriptive and normally charged macro-analysis, often leading to quasi-sociological perspectivism. To illustrate some positions of the explanatory-analytical paradigm the author makes a critical analysis of two articles published in the journal Sociology: Theory, Methods, Marketing in 2010 and 2011.
