1 Course Description Sociology 915 Seminar in Sociological Theory Institutions, Actors, and Historical Change: Economy, Society, Politics Fall 2006 Tuesday 9:30-12: Social Science Class # Professor Jonathan Zeitlin 319 Ingraham phone: jzeitlin@wisc.edu Institutions and institutionalism are central to contemporary debates across the social sciences. So too are concepts such as actors, action, and agency. And there is widespread agreement that understanding historical change constitutes a key challenge for institutionalist and action theories of all types. This course is intended to guide graduate students through the key debates in contemporary social science about the relationship between institutions, actors, and historical change. The first section of the course will compare the major contending schools of new institutionalism which have emerged in recent years rational-choice, sociological, and historical examining their core theoretical assumptions, methodological orientations, empirical applications, characteristic strengths and weaknesses, and mutual compatibility. The second section of the course shifts the focus from institutions to actors and agency, devoting particular attention to pragmatist and constructivist perspectives, old as well as new. The aim here is to explore theoretical resources for understanding reflexive action, whereby individuals, organizations, and groups may come to modify not only their habits, routines, and strategies in the light of experience and social interaction, but also in some cases their preferences, interests, and identities. The final section of the course puts institutionalist and action theories to the test of practice as tools for understanding historical change. After considering the uses and limitations of path dependence as a conceptual framework for analyzing institutional stability and change, we will conclude by considering some recent theoretically informed writings on the historical formation and transformation of two central institutional complexes of modern society: capitalist economies and national states. The course is designed to be useful to graduate students in Sociology, Political Science, History, and other social science disciplines irrespective of their substantive or geographical area of specialization. No previous background is required. Requirements and Grading All seminar participants are expected to: 1) take an active part in class discussions; 2) prepare twelve memos on the week s required readings (1-2 single-spaced pages each); 3) write a 15-20
2 page paper (typed, double-spaced), on a topic related to the themes of the course and agreed in advance with me, due at the final meeting. Weekly memos and class participation will not be formally marked, but will count for 50 percent of the final course grade. I will meet with each student individually midway through the semester to provide an interim performance assessment, and discuss possible areas for improvement. The paper will be formally evaluated and will count for the remaining 50 percent of the final grade. Weekly memos are intended to prepare the ground for good discussions by requiring seminar participants to set out their initial responses to the readings in written form. Memos should not summarize the readings, but should engage with them analytically, by taking up specific arguments, comparing the positions of different authors, identifying particular strengths and weaknesses in the texts, drawing out implications, and/or applying theoretical insights to empirical issues with which you are concerned. Each memo should also identify at least one question that you would like the class to discuss. We will arrange to share these memos through . In order for everyone to have time to read over others memos, these will be due on by 6 pm on Monday evening (the day before the class meets). (You are entitled to skip any two weeks but no more during the semester, in deference to your other scheduled commitments.) I will use the memos to prepare an agenda for our discussions. Memos submitted after 6pm may not be included in the agenda. The final paper may take a number of different forms, depending on students interests. These include: (a) An extended review essay on a book (or in some cases a pair of related books) that develops an empirical application of one or more of the theoretical perspectives we address in the course. Such review essays should include a concise summary of the main claims advanced in the book but should especially focus on situating the work within a broader literature/debate and on providing a well-developed and thought-out critical analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. A list of suggested books will be provided; other books may be substituted with my prior approval. (b) A research paper or proposal that applies one or more of the theoretical perspectives we address in the course to a specific empirical problem with which you are concerned. (c) An in-depth critical analysis of a major work or body of theory related to the themes of the course but not covered directly in the reading. Reading The following books (indicated by an asterisk in the syllabus) will be available for student purchase at the University Book Store and at the Underground Textbook Exchange (664 State St.): Campbell, John L. and Ove K.
