Syllabus, Beyond Political Culture, graduate course, Rutgers (taught last time: Spring 2013) (original) (raw)

In a nutshell, this course is about the relationship between culture and power. This relationship will be investigated from a variety of perspectives, disciplines, and methodologies. More formally, our goals are twofold: to provide a systematic review of the state-of-the-art work on the relationship between politics (particularly power) and culture and (b) to explore how "cultural" approaches can complement, enrich or replace more common acultural political scientific and economic analyses of political processes.
