3 Political Sociology The relationship between the State (government) and society Big questions: When do people participate in politics and when not? When and why do social movements form, people protest, and movements make a social difference? Where do people s political beliefs come from? How do they change? How do different countries organize social policies such as health care and welfare? How and when can citizens discuss and deliberate over important political questions? How do important social institutions (the media, organizations, etc.) contribute to, or detract from, democracy? SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27

10 Important Works in Political Sociology: Tilly Popular Contention in Great Britain, How do disaffected groups make their needs known? The study of social movements begs the question: are social movements themselves really only one kind of contentious behavior? Contentious Repertoires: In different social, historical, and national contexts, similar kinds of grievances are approached differently. SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27
11 Important Works in Political Sociology: Skocpol (1992) Protecting Soldiers and Mothers Against the myth of American exceptionalism The U.S. had a strong, significant welfare state for many years prior to the New Deal. Social policies in the U.S. tend to be stronger when they are: Universal; and Associated with categories of honor SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27
12 Important Works in Political Sociology: Eliasoph Avoiding Politics: How Americans Produce Apathy in Everyday Life The importance of deliberation and political talk What kinds of social circles are amenable to political talk and engagement? Often: none. The phrases close to home and for the children worked hard; they were pivotal in allowing volunteers to maintain that feeling that the world made sense. SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27
13 The American Political Character Strange combination of individualism and collectivism Mistrust in government, trust in private institutions Avoids discussion of things political Political deliberation is seen as a means to an ideal end Opinion holding as a form of identity SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27

SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27
16 Social Bases for Politics Americans participate in nonpolitical organizations far more than citizens of other countries Churches and unions are the real outliers Verba et al. (1995): churches and unions as mobilizers Is civil society declining? SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27
17 Social Bases for Politics: Perrin, 2001 Participation in almost any kind of nonpolitical civic association is associated with citizenship behavior Some kinds of civic associations are more associated Some provide civic skills or political efficacy The key variable: access to political discourse Political culture is the key to citizenship SOCI 101 () The Sociology of Politics and Democracy November 17, / 27
