课程名称：政治社会学导论 概述：政治社会学是一门研究人类社会内部政治过程的学科，重点关注国家与社会之间的相互关系，力求揭示权力的本质及其运作。该课程提供非全日制和函授两种学习形式，涉及的主题包括公民身份、社会运动和社会权力的来源等，特别关注国家、民间社会与家庭等政治现象的社会学分析。传统上，政治社会学的研究聚焦于四个主要领域：现代国家的社会政治形成、群体（阶级、种族、性别）间的社会不平等如何影响政治、公众舆论和社会力量对正式政治的影响，以及社会群体（如家庭、工作场所、官僚机构和媒体）内部及之间的权力关系。 政治社会学的理论渊源可以追溯到孟德斯鸠、斯密和弗格森等思想家，经过社会学的奠基人卡尔·马克思、艾米尔·涂尔干和马克斯·韦伯，一直延续到当代理论家如安东尼·吉登斯、尤尔根·哈贝马斯和迈克尔·曼。因此，政治社会学传统上探讨社会趋势、动态及支配结构如何影响正式的政治过程，以及各种社会力量如何协同作用以改变政治政策。 课程还将介绍三种主要的理论框架：多元论、精英或管理理论，以及与马克思主义分析重叠的阶级分析。多元论将政治视为竞争利益集团之间的较量；而精英或管理理论则关注国家如何受到组织结构约束，并分析国家作为一个独特的权力集中组织所派生的利益，代表人物为西达·斯科普尔。阶级理论分析强调资本精英的政治权力，分为“权力结构”或“工具主义”方法和“结构主义”方法，前者由G·威廉·多姆霍夫著称。 无论是对政治现象的深入分析，还是对社会力量与政治政策之间联系的探索，本课程都将为学生提供扎实的理论基础与实用的分析工具。
The main focus of the discipline has been on the political processes which take place within human societies. Political sociology deals with the relationship between state and society on the basis of mutual interaction and with power as the ultimate aim.The course is provided both in the form of part-time as well as on correspondence basis. Political sociology is concerned with the sociological analysis of political phenomena ranging from the State and civil society to the family, investigating topics such as citizenship, social movements, and the sources of social power. Traditionally, there were four main areas of research.1. The sociopolitical formation of the modern state2. How social inequality between groups (class, race, gender) influences politics3. How public opinion, ideologies, personalities, social movements, and trends outside of the formal institutions of political power affect formal politics4. Power relationships within and between social groups (e.g. families, workplaces, bureaucracy, media)Political sociology is concerned with the sociological analysis of political phenomena ranging from the State and civil society to the family, investigating topics such as citizenship, social movements, and the sources of social power. The lineage of this discipline is typically traced from such thinkers as Montesquieu, Smith and Ferguson through the founding fathers of sociology - Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber - to such contemporary theorists as Anthony Giddens, Jurgen Habermas and Michael Mann. In other words, political sociology was traditionally concerned with how social trends, dynamics, and structures of domination affect formal political processes, as well as exploring how various social forces work together to change political policies. From this perspective, we can identify three major theoretical frameworks: pluralism, elite or managerial theory, and class analysis, which overlaps with Marxist analysis. Pluralism sees politics primarily as a contest among competing interest groups. Elite or managerial theory is sometimes called a state-centered approach. It explains what the state does by looking at constraints from organizational structure, semi-autonomous state managers, and interests that arise from the state as a unique, power-concentrating organization. A leading representative is Theda Skocpol. Social class theory analysis emphasizes the political power of capitalist elites. It can be split into two parts: one is the "power structure" or "instrumentalist" approach, whereas another is the structuralist approach. The power structure approach focuses on the question of who rules and its most well-known representative is G. William Domhoff.
