Language Proficiency I passed the language proficiency exam in Thai under the guidance of Sara Curran and Nongpath Sternstein (University of Pennsylvania) in November 2000. III. Pre-generals Papers Title: “Network Position and State-Society Cooperation: Evidence from Indonesia” In this paper I offer a quantitative analysis of the factors that promote state- society cooperation. Using Indonesia as my case, I take advantage of the Community and Facilities Survey of the 1997 Indonesia Family Life Survey. This sample gives me detailed information on 274 development projects across 13 provinces of Indonesia, as well as information about the characteristics of each community in which the projects are active. The project level data enables me to categorize local development projects that benefit from the explicit cooperation of the state with local residents. I find that the level of civic participation in the community (intra-community ties) and being located in the subdistrict capitals (network position) are important for state-society cooperation. The first reader is Sara Curran and the second reader is M. Patricia Fernandez- Kelly. Title: “The Making of the Human Development Index” This paper examines the creation of new administrative categories; more specifically, the evolution of the Human Development Index. I show how strategic calculation within political networks, along with cultural capital, social ties, and organizational scripts, facilitates the development, launch, dissemination, and routinization of the index. My study is based on interviews with élite informants across four continents, news wires, draft reports, websites, and secondary source materials. The first reader is Viviana Zelizer and the second reader is M. Patricia Fernandez- Kelly. IV. Reading Lists See attached pages Economic Sociology Reading List Frederick F.

  • The Revival of Economic Sociology
    Chapter 1 The Revival of Economic Sociology MAURO F. G UILLEN´ , RANDALL COLLINS, PAULA ENGLAND, AND MARSHALL MEYER conomic sociology is staging a comeback after decades of rela- tive obscurity. Many of the issues explored by scholars today E mirror the original concerns of the discipline: sociology emerged in the first place as a science geared toward providing an institutionally informed and culturally rich understanding of eco- nomic life. Confronted with the profound social transformations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the founders of so- ciological thought—Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Georg Simmel—explored the relationship between the economy and the larger society (Swedberg and Granovetter 1992). They examined the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services through the lenses of domination and power, solidarity and inequal- ity, structure and agency, and ideology and culture. The classics thus planted the seeds for the systematic study of social classes, gender, race, complex organizations, work and occupations, economic devel- opment, and culture as part of a unified sociological approach to eco- nomic life. Subsequent theoretical developments led scholars away from this originally unified approach. In the 1930s, Talcott Parsons rein- terpreted the classical heritage of economic sociology, clearly distin- guishing between economics (focused on the means of economic ac- tion, or what he called “the adaptive subsystem”) and sociology (focused on the value orientations underpinning economic action). Thus, sociologists were theoretically discouraged from participating 1 2 The New Economic Sociology in the economics-sociology dialogue—an exchange that, in any case, was not sought by economists. It was only when Parsons’s theory was challenged by the reality of the contentious 1960s (specifically, its emphasis on value consensus and system equilibration; see Granovet- ter 1990, and Zelizer, ch.

As a subfield that has grown rapidly over the past twenty years, economic sociology has focused on three major activities: First, it has examined the prerequisites for and constraints to economic processes as defined by economists. Second, it has extended economic models to social phenomena rarely considered in the domain of economics. Third, and most ambitiously, it has tried to search for alternative accounts of phenomena typically formulated only in economic terms. This course will provide an overview of these broad concerns and approaches in economic sociology, and review the sociological explanations of economic activities of production, consumption and distribution in a wide range of settings. REQUIREMENTS Students are expected to attend each meeting, do the readings thoroughly and in advance, and participate actively in class. Emphasis is on mastering, responding critically and creatively to, and integrating the course material, with an eye toward developing your own research questions and interests.

  • 1 from the Birth of the Modern World to the Age of Limits
    Notes 1 From the Birth of the Modern World to the Age of Limits 1. This school of thought has been labelled the ‘California school’, see Goldstone (2006: 272–3). 2. Osterhammel’s 19th century in fact reaches further back in time as well as beyond the First World War in certain respects. 3. It is not possible to date this period more accurately than the 1970s and 1980s since a longer-term economic downturn began in the 1970s but the end of the Cold War was only confirmed as a political break in the late 1980s. As we shall see in the concluding chapter, economies and political change – and the transformation of nature – all have different time horizons. Still, these breaks will become clearer with time. 4. This dependence on innovation is also implicit in ideas about ‘post-indus- trial society’, which depends on information and communication technolo- gies as ‘prime movers’ for moving into a service- or knowledge-intensive society. 5. As Mann (1993: 26) has argued, only classes with organizational capabilities for change are of interest. 6. It can also be noted that although consumerism relies on technoscience or innovation – the first component of culture – this connection is at one remove: consumption rests on the transformation of the natural world, but consumer goods are exchanged via markets. This indirectness, that consumer- ism is driven by and drives economic forces, rather than being intrinsically linked to technoscience, is important for its ‘dispensability’. 7. Weber sometimes used ‘spheres’ and at other times ‘social orders’. The sub- title of the German original of Max Weber’s Economy and Society (1978) was ‘The Economy and the Social Orders and Powers [die Gesellschaftlichen Ordnungen und Maechte], but in his essay ‘Religious Rejections of the World and their Directions’ (1948: 323–359), he used ‘spheres’.
