Key founders of sociology such as Karl Marx and Max Weber, and key political/social theorists such as Alexis de Tocqueville, never considered social theory as separate from history and historical analysis. The prominent American sociologist Charles Wright Mills famously emphasized that all good sociology is historical sociology. Yet much of the social sciences today have become presentist, as they study the social and political world separate from history. Rather than interrogate why presentism has become the dominant pattern in the social sciences, we take advantage of the fact that comparative and historical sociology is an established subfield in American sociology today. This class offers an introduction survey of this subfield, and aims to introduce students to different tropes in using historical sociology in their research.
Comparative and Historical Methods
2022
This graduate seminar offers a general overview of the methodological issues and approaches that dominate and are emerging in the contemporary practice of comparative-historical social science. It is also practical and hands-on, designed to give you concrete experience working with historical data and skills for future research. It is deliberately open-ended. The purpose of the class is to provide a shared language and overarching conceptual framework that will allow you to pursue your own research, with a clearer understanding of the consequences of making specific methodological choices. Comparative historical sociology is both a subdiscipline and an ‘interdiscipline’ (connecting sociology, political science, history, IR, and others) in the midst of transformation. This course also provides a broader sense of both methodological problems and the continuing openness and creativity of the field. The class is organized into several modules. We will cover opening grounds of debate (ontology, epistemology, and comparative-historical sociology); general aspects of and problems in research design; and methods of empirical inquiry. Exemplars of approaches will also be featured, and we will incorporate students’ specific substantive interests as they evolve.

Introduction: Social Theory, Modernity, and the Three Waves of Historical Sociology
2005
Sociology as a discipline is intimately entwined with modernity, both as lived and as theorized. Sociologists have galvanized distinctive mechanisms of social rationalization and technical regulation (not least statistics and surveys) and authored ideas of the modern social space as a realm that we denizens inhabit and control. Sociologists also have helped define modernity’s significant Others, including the categories of tradition and postmodernity. They have applied their intellectual energy to formulating what might be called the ‘‘sociological modern’’: situating actors and institutions in terms of these two categories, understanding the paths by which they develop or change, and communicating these understandings to states, citizens, all manner of organizations, and social movements—as well as vast armies of students. On this basis, sociologists have helped build and manage today’s sprawling, globally extended social edifice while simultaneously trying to diagnose and dismantl...

The familial state: Ruling families and merchant capitalism in early modern Europe
2005
The seventeenth century was called the Dutch Golden Age. Over the course of eighty years, the tiny United Provinces of the Netherlands overthrew Spanish rule and became Europe's dominant power. Eventually, though, Dutch hegemony collapsed as quickly as it had risen. In The Familial State, Julia Adams explores the role that Holland's great families played in this dramatic history. She charts how family patriarchs-who were at the time both state-builders and merchant capitalists-shaped the first great wave of European colonialism, ...

A Syllabus in Comparative Political Sociology
We focus in this course on a few of the most important theoretical and empirical works in comparative political sociology developing over the last two decades. Its principal aim is to ground all of us in the most important discussions occurring in the field, as indicated by recent awards by the American Sociological Association, by publications in the discipline's leading journals, and by my judgment. This will be a remarkably disciplined discussion. We are jumping into the beating heart of political sociology. And it's alive.

Political Sociology
International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, 2nd edition,, 2015
Political sociology is a major subfield on the border of sociology and political science, combining explanatory factors and research interests of both disciplines. It developed from the work of the early founders of social science to include areas of inquiry that tackle the salient social and political processes of the twentieth century and the contemporary world. We discuss important theoretical and empirical advancements and the subfield's continuous preoccupation with the interrelationships of 'politics' and 'society', political and social changes, and with issues of power, domination, and exploitation. Political sociology bridges the fields of sociology and political science by addressing issues of power and authority with a focus on state/civil society relations. Political sociology differs from political science in that it includes and often focuses on the civil society side of the equation rather than placing an emphasis on the state and/or political elites. Core areas of research include state formation and change, forms of political rule, major social policies, political institutions and challenges to them (including reform-oriented and revolutionary social movements), political parties and the social bases of political attitudes and behaviors, class/power relations, and the political consequences of globalization. The field includes distinct major approaches, yet theoretical combination and synthesis is common. Many early and contemporary studies utilize comparative historical analysis, especially with regard to critical junctures and historical processes and developments, whereas current work has become methodologically more eclectic. Contemporary political issues and events, regimes in power, and cases relating to the United States and Europe tend to garner the most scholarly attention, though there is a steadily growing body of theory and empirical work beyond the core capitalist democracies. We consider four somewhat distinct periods in the development of political sociology, while prioritizing the most recent period: (1) We trace political sociology's inspiration in the mid-nineteenth century to the earlier philosophers who considered the state and social life, but note that it was not until the founding fathers of nineteenth-century social science began thinking of society and the state as distinct entities and analyzing the relationships between them, that political sociology was born; (2) The post-World War II period, which shifted the subfield's focus to the prerequisites of democracy and voting patterns; (3) The late twentieth-century period, which saw political sociologists move toward a focus on state building and political change, using Marxist theories of capitalism and class as well as other theories; and (4) The contemporary period, which is characterized by a proliferation of topics relevant to politics such as globalization, race, gender, and culture. (Sections Historical Developments through Mid-and Late Twentieth-Century Period are largely abridged, paraphrased , and enhanced versions of the previous survey by E. Allardt in this publication. See Allardt (2001) for full references to these sections. Additionally, for broad works on political sociology, see Alford and Friedland, 1985; Janoski et al., 2005; Amenta et al., 2012.) Historical Developments The foundations of social sciences emerged in a context of epochal social and political transformations, including the development and unfolding of capitalist social systems and the modern state. These developments encouraged conceptualiza-tions of the state and society as separate entities, making it possible to investigate their interrelations. Relying on earlier works on social life and politics by philosophers, historians, and legal theorists, sociology's three founding fathers made important contributions to political sociology's beginnings. Karl Marx challenged the idea that power concentrates solely in political offices and officeholders. Instead he focused on politics as emerging primarily from class conflict, just as the bourgeoisie and industrial working classes were becoming the principal social groups. He also emphasized the role of ideology in sustaining the powers that be. Max Weber responded to and critiqued Marx and added important analyses of authority, status categories, and social institutions (especially bureaucracy). Sociology's third founding father, Emile Durkheim, did not have an explicitly political focus, yet his emphasis on social order, integration, and solidarity had important implications for analyses of society and politics. Others more directly associated with the emergence of political sociology include: Talcott Parsons, who was inspired by Durkheim, Vilfredo Pareto, and Gaetano Mosca, who made independent contributions by emphasizing the role of elites for social and political change (along with others who continued this concern, including Robert Michels, C. Wright Mills, G. William Domhoff, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Seymour Martin Lipset). Marx and Class Domination, Capitalism, and Revolution Marx was among the first to articulate an empirical political sociology, marking out historical materialism in his systematic general insistence on exploring the relationships between the mode of economic production and social property relations with state/political forms, social and political struggles, and consciousness, with a particular focus on capitalism and classes 472

Introduction to State/Culture
State/Culture, 1999
This is an introduction to the volume State/Culture, which asks about the impact of culture on state-formation and public policy. How do states affect national and local cultures? How is the ongoing cultural turn in theory reshaping our understanding of the Western and modernizing states, long viewed as the radiant core of a universal, context-free rationality? The volume first examines some of the unsatisfying ways in which cultural processes have been discussed in social science literature on the state. It demonstrates new and sophisticated approaches to understanding both the role culture plays in the formation of states and the state's influence on broad cultural developments. The book includes theoretical essays and empirical studies; the latter essays are concerned with early modern European nations, non-European countries undergoing political modernization, and twentieth-century Western nation-states. A wide range of perspectives are presented in order to delineate this emergent area of research. Together the essays constitute an agenda-setting work for the social sciences.

COURSE OVERVIEW
This graduate seminar offers a general overview of the methodological issues and approaches that
dominate and are emerging in the contemporary practice of comparative-historical social science.
It is also practical and hands-on, designed to give you concrete experience working with historical
data and skills for future research.
It is deliberately open-ended. The purpose of the class is to provide a shared language and
overarching conceptual framework that will allow you to pursue your own research, with a clearer
understanding of the consequences of making specific methodological choices.
Comparative historical sociology is both a subdiscipline and an ‘interdiscipline’ (connecting
sociology, political science, history, IR, and others) in the midst of transformation. This course also
provides a broader sense of both methodological problems and the continuing openness and
creativity of the field.
The class is organized into several modules. We will cover opening grounds of debate (ontology,
epistemology, and comparative-historical sociology); general aspects of and problems in research
design; and methods of empirical inquiry. Exemplars of approaches will also be featured, and we will
incorporate students’ specific substantive interests as they evolve.
COURSE STRUCTURE AND GRADING
Attendance and Participation (10%): Because this course is structured as a grad seminar, its success
depends on your regular attendance and active participation in discussion, and all readings must be
completed prior to class. If for some reason you have to miss class, please contact me by email in
advance.0
Weekly (6) reading responses (30%): Post reading response by 9 pm Wednesday night so as to
facilitate class discussion the following day. Three of these should be completed prior to October
break (10/20) and three following the break. Responses should include a summary; critical
discussion of method, empirics, and form; and include at least two questions for class discussion.
Book review (10%): Write a ca. 1000 word review of one of the books listed at the end of the
syllabus (Barringotn Moore book award winners from ASA Comparative Historical section) or
another recent social science history book (feel free to consult with me) [you are encouraged but not
required to try to get your review published]. The review should include discussion of a) main
question and argument, b) methods (tools) and methodology (justification for this approach), c) data
used and how it was analyzed, and d) your overall assessment of the books methods and content.
Stack Browsing Assignment (10%): Read Abbott, Andrew. 2014. Digital Paper: A Manual for Research
and Writing with Library and Internet Materials. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. Pp. 110-128.
Then, go to a section of the Sterling stacks (HA for statistics, etc.) and literally walk up and down
every aisle in that section, stopping to look at anything that catches your attention and looks
interesting. Pick a volume or series of volumes and write no more than 1000 words about a
question you could answer with it. What kinds of data did you find? What could you combine it with
and how? What units of analysis are involved? DUE October 13
Final Paper (40%)
This larger project is intended to get you going in terms of actually doing and writing up historical
research. The intent is to further you in your own research agenda (be that towards a dissertation
proposal, an article, a chapter in a dissertation, etc.) We will consult about what fits best for you this
semester.
• Topic Identification and Research Question: write up 500-750 words on the “who, when,
where, and how” of your topic. What is the research question you are asking? [DUE
October 23]
• Methods and Data: write up 500-750 words on the method that is suitable to your question
and identify the archives, documents, or other types of data needed for your research.
[DUE October 30]
• Final Paper: 15-20 page (double-spaced 12 pt font) research paper. I do not expect you have
completely collected or analyzed all of your data, but you should have a research question,
hypothesis, introduction, a brief literature discussion, source of data, and plan/method for
collecting/analyzing the data. The last day of class you will present on your research project.
