Ders bilgisi

This course aims to explore some of the great debates about the relationship between politics and society. It will examine the interaction between political institutions, economic interests and cultural ideas, especially in societies that are both democratic and capitalist. The course begins by looking at the canonical writings of authors like Tocqueville, Marx and Weber. The rest of the course will then provide you with a chance to study some of the major empirical controversies that have animated political sociologists.
