	Sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sociology is interested in our behavior as social beings; thus the sociological field of interest ranges from the analysis of short contacts between anonymous individuals on the street to the study of global social processes.
		Sociology as a scientific discipline emerged in the early 19th century as an academic response to the challenge of modernity: as the world was becoming smaller and more integrated, people's experience of the world was increasingly atomized and dispersed.
		In 1919 a sociology department was established in Germany at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich by Max Weber and in 1920 in Poland by Florian Znaniecki.

		It was Roland Barthes who thundered: 'culture is not innocent.' Perhaps, culture is power under a different guise, as his compatriot Michele Foucault would argue, and to keep political sociology separate from the sociology of culture only helps to mistify the connection.

	POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY
		Political resources are ''slack in the system'' when most citizens use their resources for purposes other than gaining influence over government decisions.
		If political ideologies are actually the means to the end of obtaining votes, and if we know something about the distribution of voters' ideological preferences, we can make predictions about how parties will change their ideologies as they maneuver to gain power.
		The political culture approach differs from rational choice in arguing that 1.) people's responses to their situations are shaped by subjective orientations (i.e., how they interpret their circumstances), which vary cross-culturally and within subcultures; and 2.) these variations in subjective orientations reflect different socialization patterns and are therefore difficult to undo.

	Theoretical Models in Political Sociology
		Marx's work was not limited to political sociology; indeed, much of the genius of his work lay in his attempt to comprehend the entire course of human history.
		Nor can politics be explained by the study of leaders, since these leaders reflect group interests and their behavior cannot be understood except from the perspective of group analysis.
		Many political issues such as the fl revolt, the youth movement, the environmental crisis, and the women's movement were not predicted by those who were using Marxist models of thought any more than they were by pluralists.

	POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY
		This definition implies a political formula or body of beliefs specifying which institutions are legitimate (the degree to which institutions are valued for themselves and considered right and proper), as well as implying that one set of political leaders be in office and other sets of recognized leaders attempting to gain office.
		According to Marxism, the political must not only be located in the structure of a social formation as a specific level, but furthermore as that critical level in which the contradictions of a formation are reflected and condensed.

	Samuels Essay
		I argue in this invited editorial for a marriage of political sociology and economic sociology/anthropology, and for its conduct to be as positive (non-normative) and as eclectic as possible; and I present my case in somewhat sweeping, but hopefully nonetheless comprehensible, categories.
		I would like to see political sociologists focus on the institutions and processes of government insofar as government is a major social force, and economic sociologists and anthropologists focus on the institutions which form economies--and to combine their work.
		A political economic sociology would study such things, and do so in a manner which is both non-normative and eclectic, seeking and acquiring wisdom wherever and however it may be found.

		In a political sociology paper, you can and should include key people and key events; but it is of paramount importance that you discuss resources, organizations, and access to government.
		Remember that this paper is to be a Political Sociology paper; in other words, I do not just want you to document a series of events, but an interpretation of how these events reflect underlying differences in political power and influence.
		Your goal is to make an argument about how inequities of political power have influenced the course of events, the strategies chosen, alliances, who wins, who benefits, etc., it is not to argue in favor or against a particular policy.
