Course Description It is no doubt true that neoclassical economic has many splendid accomplishments to

its name. But it is equally clear that the current type of analytical economic has failed to integrate a social perspective into its analyses, and this prevents it from ultimately becoming a truly social science. It is in this situation that economic sociology comes into the picture. Though its origin can be traced back to the classical theories of Marx, Simmel, and especially Weber, economic sociology is a relatively new sub-field. This exciting strand of research emerged from work conducted on organizations, institutions, networks and political economy and since the mid-1980s has become one of the most active and promising areas of sociological research. Broadly defined, economic sociology may be seen as the attempt to analyze the economic phenomenon as social phenomenon or as resulting from human interaction, within the context of broader social structures. This is the introductory course to economic sociology, designed for students who want to grapple deeply with the problems of understanding economic processes from the vantage point of sociology.

Economic sociology is a rapidly growing sub-field that has pursued three projects to varying degrees over the past twenty years. First, it has examined the many prerequisites for and constraints on economic behavior as usually understood by economists. Second, and more ambitiously, it has tries to provide positive alternative accounts of economic phenomena themselves. Third, and most recently, it has tried both to broaden our conception of economic activity and develop an approach applicable across many empirical contexts.

Page 2: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

In order to introduce the broad sweep of the new economic sociology, this course is arranged in three parts. Part I explores the broad relationship between economics as a discipline and intellectual tradition and economic sociology. This will involve elaborating some of the main ideas and principles of modern economics and then examining the ways in which sociological approaches to the economy represent complements or challenges to this tradition.

Part II of the course explores the core substantive concepts of economic sociology: embeddedness, networks, markets, firm, social capital. institutions, etc. This part introduces the foundational concepts of social embeddedness and institutions, and examines how these concepts distinguish economic sociology from neo-classical economics and its vision of actors, firms, and markets. The classical dichotomies of markets versus firms or markets versus states have dominated research and policy discussions, yet little consensus exists in the social sciences regarding the sources and economic effects of these social forms. Institutional economists and rational choice theorists in sociology and political science make a strong case that contracts, firms and states emerge as actors respond to market failures and the demands and uncertainties of competition and exchange. In contrast, economic sociologist typically invoke the importance of context, focusing on the social and political construction of markets, and the ways in which broader social and cultural structures enable, constrain and channel problem solving activity and the construction of hierarchies in markets. Likewise subject to ongoing debate are the effects of states and corporate hierarchies on efficiency, growth, and development. In many accounts, states and corporations are simply mechanisms by which economic and political elites concentrate power, create monopolies, and engage in predatory or rent-seeking behavior. For others, states and corporate hierarchies are essential for efficiency and economic development, at least under certain conditions. Equally important, sociologists have also begun to push theory and debate beyond conventional dichotomies, and have discovered the importance in capitalist societies of various cooperative alternatives to markets and hierarchies. These alternatives such as networks and associations figure centrally in sociologists’ efforts to move beyond markets and hierarchies and to theorize the social embeddedness of economic life. Moreover, where traditional analyses often dismiss networks and associations as “pre-modern” holdovers that impede progress and growth, economic sociologists, operating from different sensibilities, have found that such forms promote the trust, flexibility and capacities for innovation that are necessary for economic success in today’s increasingly globalized capitalism.

While Part I & II of this course are primarily concerned with abstract conceptual and theoretical problems, Part III will build on those analyses of the social structural elements of economic life to examine the variety and organizational diversity of advanced capitalist societies. It will be preoccupied with some exemplar works by Fred Block, AnnaLee Saxenian, Viviana Zelizer, Charles Lindblom, etc. Much of this part will revolve around an

Page 3: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

attempt to understand the functioning of various institutions in the globalized economy of mature capitalism. We’ll explore this problem in terms of the social organization of production, looking respectively at the organization of markets, firms, sectors, and regions. We shall conclude the course with the issues of the challenge of globalization and the rise of regional economies. The future economic sociology project that remains the most difficult, I would argue, is figuring out how to link production and consumption.

Although this course may serve as partial preparation for the Economic Sociology preliminary examination, no guarantee of comprehensiveness is assumed. Coverage of topics is not at the level of depth necessary for the exam. This seminar offers an introduction to the field’s key conceptual approaches at the expense of some specific empirical domains. Little attention is paid, for instance, to processes of globalization, the role of technology and innovation in economic growth, labor markets, or consumption. The goal, simply, is to provide a framework that can ground further exploration of the field and a supplementary list of topics is also added in the end of this syllabus to give the student a taste of the vibrancy of the area. Class Citizenship

This course is designed as a discussion, research, and writing course. Lectures will form a small part of what we do in class. This is a participatory seminar. Please take time to read assignments carefully and thoughtfully. We will expect everyone to come to class prepared to summarize the main arguments in the readings and to discuss their strengths, weakness, the execution of the research, usefulness for theory building, and so on. I do not intend to lecture the class. In order to facilitate class discussion, we will begin each class right after the weekly presentation with a collective attempt to establish what the central arguments and the crucial issues of the readings are. Please always bring a copy of the reading so that you can consult it during our discussion. This way we can all, literally, be on the same page.

In a seminar course of this sort, it is my wish that I want the sessions and discussions to be as stimulating and exciting as possible, with a collegial and supportive atmosphere. Pedagogically, this seminar is dedicated to the proposition that knowledge is a collective product. This intellectual journey is intended to be collective; each participant (including me) is expected to contribute to our discussions and debates. Good seminars depend to a great extent on the seriousness of preparation by students. Let us all be good and responsible class citizens to make contributions as much as possible. Requirements and Grading:

The requirements for this course are fourfold. You must fulfill all four of them; do not take this course if for whatever reason you cannot do so. All participants will be expected to: 1) take an active part in discussions (20%); 2) make at least three presentations on the readings to the seminar during the semester (20%); 3) prepare seven memos on the week’s

3

Page 4: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

required readings (20%); 4) a final term paper or a critical journal (40%). 1) Active Participation in Discussion: remember and apply this aphorism of Wittgenstein:

“Even to have expressed a false thought boldly and clearly is already to have gained a great deal.” So speak up and speak out! What each of you will get out of the course depends in good measure on how much you collectively put in. So, play a constructive role in discussion: offer your own ideas in small chunks instead of long monologues; draw out and ask for clarification of the opinions of others; pose issues and questions you may not know the answer to; learn to permit someone to disagree with you without feeling attacked; learn to express disagreement in ways that promote constructive discussion instead of polarization.

2) Seminar Presentations: Each week students will present that week’s readings and lead discussions. These presentations should be 25-30 minutes long for each and should try to establish a focused agenda for the discussion that follows. The point of the presentation is not to comprehensively summarize the readings, but to provide a critical evaluation, focusing on the strengths and weakness of the arguments/analyses, comparing different perspectives, and highlighting the most important issues and questions they raise as a way of launching the day’s discussion.

3) Weekly Issue Memo: to facilitate collective learning and avoid a situation of “pluralistic ignorance”, every week participants will submit issue-memo to the class as a whole by e-mail. I believe strongly that it is important for students to engage the week’s readings in written form prior to the seminar sessions. These weekly memos are intended to prepare the ground for good discussions by requiring participants to set out their initial responses to the readings which will improve the quality of the class discussion since students come to the sessions with an already thought-out agenda.

I refer to these short written comments as “issue memos”. They are not meant to be mini-papers on the readings; nor need they summarize the readings as such. Rather, they are meant to be a think-piece, reflecting your own intellectual engagement with the material: specifying what is obscure or confusing in the reading; taking up issue with some core idea or argument; exploring some interesting ramification of an idea in the reading. These memos do not have to deal with the most profound, abstract or grandiose arguments in the readings; the point is that they should reflect what you find most engaging, exciting or puzzling.

We will arrange to share these memos through e-mail, and the week’s presenters, if s/he likes, can use other students’ comments to prepare an agenda for discussion. In order for everyone to have time to read over other’s comments, these will be imperatively due on e-mail NO LATER THAN 12:AM THE DAY OF CLASS. You are encouraged to read and to respond to each other’s issue memos both before and after the week’s meeting. These memos are a real requirement, and failing to hand in memos will affect your grade. I will read through the memos to see if they are “serious”, but not grade them for “quality”. Since

4

Page 5: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

the point of this exercise is to enhance discussions, late memos will not be accepted. If you have to miss a seminar session for some reason, you are still required to prepare an issue memo for that session. Since I may not total the number of memos each student writes until the end of the semester, please keep copies to be sure of fulfilling the requirements. Students who submit memos should also be prepared to summarize/explain them in class. 4) Term Paper: the central assignment of this course is a crispy written, analytically rigorous term paper of no more than 15 pages (this limit is expressly designed to compel you to write with economy, precision and clarity). Students should meet with me to discuss their papers in week 7. A three-page proposal for the paper, with a set of questions, a bibliography, and some preliminary findings or evidence are to be submitted for approval by the instructor on or before 13 April. Students will present their work in progress in term-paper workshop in week 9, 20 April. Therefore, you may find it appropriate to begin thinking about term paper early in the course. Please feel free to discuss your ideas with me whenever you are ready to do so. Papers may be theoretical or reviews that work on one or more of the theoretical perspectives covered in the course. An empirical paper is also acceptable, but this will be more demanding since access to data may not be easy to obtain. The choice is up to each student. Guidelines for format of the paper are the Journal of Taiwanese Sociology guidelines. These guidelines are used in the hope that you will submit your term paper to the annual conference of Taiwanese Sociological Association. To help you develop your ideas and academic presentation skills, class section 9 will be devoted to presentations and discussions of student term papers. Papers connected to dissertation research are strongly recommended. Alternative Option: Keeping a Critical Journal.

This option consists of writing an analytic journal on the issues raised in the course. The journal will consist of a healthy number of typed entries on specific topics generated by readings, discussions, and any other material you encounter. Each entry would normally be between a paragraph and several pages in length. The whole journal may be about 20-25 pages in length, and each entry should demonstrate both your knowledge of the reading as well as your own ideas arising from it. Ponder Beth Schneider’s criteria: “Better journals will demonstrate broad knowledge of the reading, integrate materials, compare authors, display thoughtful, sociologically grounded writing. Length without integration, details without analysis, unsubstantiated opinions will not be sufficient.” A journal with a high grade would have both breadth (i.e. will cover most of the weekly topics and readings), and quality insights.

The purpose of this critical journal is to write a personal handbook of economic sociology based primarily on the readings we will be doing during this semester. For at least some of the topics, you will be expected to do some additional reading by following

5

Page 6: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

up some of the footnotes in the assigned core readings or in suggested readings you will be doing for the class sessions. This project should quickly become part of your ongoing work during the semester. If you leave this until the end of the semester it will be impossible to complete the task on schedule. Detailed Instructions A. Concepts

Your handbook should include on at least 10 concepts. At least 7 of these concepts must come from the following list, and you will need to add at least 3 additional concepts of your own to make the total of 10. Core list of concepts 1. embeddedness 2. markets 3. contracts 4. firms 5. networks 6. path dependency 7. bounded rationality 8. transaction costs 9. risk 10. trust 11. uncertainty 12. externalities 13. globalization 14. regionalization 15. class 16. exploitation 17. rationality 18. preferences 19. culture and economy 20. consumption 21. financial market 22. prisoners’ dilemmas 23. free riding 24. information asymmetries 25. developmental state

6

Page 7: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

B. Authors The handbook should also include entries for at least 5 scholars who have made

significant contributions to economic sociology (this can include sociologically-minded economists). The following is a suggested list, but you are not restricted to this list. The idea for these entries is not to include mini-intellectual biographies, but to explicate and comment on the core intellectual contribution of the scholar. Suggested list of scholars in economic sociology 1. Max Weber 2. Emile Durkheim 3. Karl Marx 4. Oliver Williamson 5. James Coleman 6. Amitai Etzioni 7. Albert Hirschman 8. Herbert Simmon 9. Karl Polanyi 10. Harrison White 11. Mark Granovetter 12. Arthur Stinchcombe 13. Joseph Schumpeter 14. Gary Becker 15. George Akerlof 16. Kenneth Arrow 17. Mancur Olson 18. Neil Smelser 19. Richard Swedberg 20. Daniel Bell 21. Jon Elster 22. Amartya Sen 23. Robert Solow 24. Aage Sorensen 25. Fred Block c. What to do in your entries

a. There is no set format for entries in the handbook, and no rigid specification for length. The general expectation is that the author entries will be of 1-2 pages each and the concept entries will be 1-5 pages (not counting bibliographic citations), but these are only rough guidelines. Entry can vary a lot in complexity and length.

7

Page 8: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

Some of them can be short, crisp discussions of some narrow issues; others can be more extended mini-essays on debates over theoretical issues involving the concept.

b. For some of the concepts you may want to focus on the problem of the formal definition (or alternative definitions), especially where the definitions is contested in the literature. If you choose the concepts of “exploitation” or “class”, for example, there is much debate about how to define these concepts which could be a useful way of organizing your discussion. For other concepts the central issue may be less formal definition and more the theoretical relevance of the concept, how it is linked to various kinds of explanations or questions. In a discussion of the concepts of “rationality” or “preference”, for example, you might want to focus on such theoretical issues rather than formal definitions. And in some cases you might want to discuss the historical development of the concept. Of course, you can do more than one of these things in a given entry.

c. Whatever the specific focus of your entry, wherever possible it is good to try to clarify debates over the concept and its theoretical status. This is not a requirement for all entries, but it is something to keep in mind as you organize your ideas.

d. Whether or not your entry revolves around a discussion of alternative definitions, most entries should begin with an explicit discussion of the definition of the concept. I recommend that this be identified by a specific section heading.

e. In longer mini-essay type entries you should use section headings to divide up the internal structure of the discussion. Depending upon the concept, the following sorts of headings might be appropriate: definitions; theoretical debates; standard economic treatments of X; sociological versus economics analyses; development of the concept; empirical implications; bibliography.

f. Entries should not be mainly recapitulations of the lectures from class. You can, of course, draw on the ideas in the lectures and class discussions, but the handbook should be your own integration and reflection on the ideas.

g. The entries should also include a bibliography of the sources to which you explicitly refer in the discussion. You can also include a supplementary bibliography of works dealing with the topic which you do not directly discuss, but this is less important.

D. Suggested Strategy

I suggest that you create a directory on your computer for this class and then create a separate file for each of the concepts and authors. (You might even want to create a separate sub-directory for each concept and author). As you do the reading for the semester you can then easily add ideas, summaries, commentaries to each of these. In general you will need

8

Page 9: ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

to rewrite and edit these entries in order to turn them into coherent pieces. E. Due Dates

In order to be sure you are on track on this assignment, I want to read an example of one concept entry and one author entry no later than 4/10. The complete handbook is due in class on 6/29. About Incompletes: Taking an incomplete is like going into debt with a loan shark. The day the deadline is past, interest starts accruing and the quality of paper you think you need to write grows exponentially. Most of the students I have given incompletes to in the past have taken much longer time and difficulties getting them done, and I have decided I must change my formerly lax policy. You are far better off doing the paper you can do now than trying to do the paper you wish you could do later. I am wiling to negotiate a deadline with you that accommodates your other obligations (e.g. grading responsibilities as a TA), but you must meet the deadline. If you realize you have defined your paper more broadly than you can execute, speak to me about narrowing the bounds of the paper, not about taking longer to do it.

Week 12 (5/11) The New Institutionalism in Organizational Analysis. The overlap between economic sociology and organization is no accident, but rather results from the significant restructuring of one of the theoretical core of social sciences, namely the development of “institutionalism” and “institutional analysis”. This inter-disciplinary movement has a number of variants, but one of the most significant is found in the “new institutionalism in organizational analysis”. Economic sociology is the main site where variants of the new institutionalism confront one another. Indeed, the growing importance of economic sociology in the past decade has helped to revitalize organization theory. Background Readings: Scott, Richard. 1995. Institutions and Organizations. Thousand Hills: Sage. Core Readings:

Questions to ponder: How does an institutional approach alter an embedded or s work process interpretation of economic and social organization? How are “the individual” and “self-control” conceptualized in institutional theory? How is power and domination conceptualized? Does institutional theory mark an unwitting return to theories of social organization? Suggested Readings: Nee, Victor. 1998. “Sources of the New Institutionalism.” Pp. 1-16 in The New
