Совместный аспирантский семинар Института политических исследований (Sciences Po) (Париж, Франция) и Института общественных исследований им. Макса Планка (Кёльн, Германия), осень 2010 г.
General Introduction
Markets are the core institutions of capitalist economies. They have become an important subject field in economic sociology during the last 20 years. The seminar centers around three coordination problems market actors need to resolve to establish and reproduce markets. These coordination problems are the problem of competition, the problem of valuation and the problem of cooperation. The conceptual texts and case studies read in the seminar provide insights into the different approaches in economic sociology.
Seminar Organization
The seminar will take place in Köln, in the Max-Planck-Institut für Gesellschaftsforschung, from January 11th to 15th.
Students will be asked to read all the «required readings» before the seminar. During the seminar, they will be asked to treat specific topics, drawings on these readings and working in small groups (four or five persons per group), each group involving both German and French students.
Students will also be asked to prepare a brief presentation (10 to 15 minutes each) based on a «case study» reading. There will be three presentations on days 2, 3 and 4 and one presentation on day 4. The presentations will be prepared and presented by two students.
For the students from Cologne a preparatory meeting will take place on October 28, 2009 at 5pm. All seminar participants from Cologne must be present at this meeting.
