Inhalt While International Relations (IR) scholars and sociologists occasionally borrowed from each other in the past, International Political Sociology (IPS) has only emerged as a distinctive field of inquiry in the last ten to fifteen years. IPS brings into conversation concerns with international, transnational, and global practices, processes, institutions, relations, and systems traditionally studied by IR specialists (usually political scientists) with social and political theories, sociological theories and methodologies, and political sociology and other empirical sociologies studied by sociologists. Among other factors, this conversation has been prompted by increasing challenges to state-centrism in IR and methodological nationalism in Sociology in the context of the contemporary phase/discourse of globalization. This course provides a survey of important approaches, debates, and substantive concerns in the still emerging field of IPS. Using the inchoate international political sociology of constructivism in IR as a foil, it considers a variety of alternative approaches which theoretically, analytically, and substantively extend IR-constructivist understandings of social construction at the interface between the social and the political in international, transnational, and global contexts. We will first examine a number of approaches to IPS “avant la lettre,” including historical sociology, modern systems theory, sociological institutionalism, and feminist and postcolonial perspectives. In the second part of the course we will discuss more recent scholarship in IPS, including critical approaches to security, governmentality, practice theory, and the “new materialism.” While the course focuses on theoretical approaches, these will be discussed in relation to a variety of substantive issues including the states system and international political economy, international and world society, terrorism, diplomacy, human rights and human security, borders and migration, and African and European politics.
