授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This course aims to argue one of the essential concepts in social sciences in international development: institution. Recently institution has been widely employed by social scientists as the concept that occupies the center of analysis. This course will address the puzzle of collective action and discuss how institution has become one of the fundamental perspectives to understand political processes and policy outcomes. We will also review both classical and recent works on state-building to comprehend and critically discuss the most recent development of theories. This is a discussion-centered course. All participants must read the designated course materials in advance and actively participate in the discussion. |
