在社會學的知識發展上，政治社會學所涉及的概念和議題構成了一個重要的基礎領域。在本學期的課程安排中，我們將先介紹四個不同的理論思考取徑：韋伯的傳統、馬克思主義的傳統、涂爾幹/托克維爾的傳統、傅柯/斯柯特的傳統。在韋伯的經典討論中，主要涉及到支配、正當性、現代國家等重要概念，以及戰爭與國家形成等議題。馬克思的理論為我們帶來階級政治的視野，其後馬克思主義者則在階級和國家地位的爭辯中提出了國家自主性的想法。涂爾幹和托克維爾這兩位法國思想家則將關注的核心轉移到公民社會之上，特別是托克維爾對美國民主的觀察，讓我們可以深刻地去思考公民結社和公民參與，對現代民主社會形成的作用與意義。最後，傅柯對微觀權力的思考顛覆了傳統由上而下國家權力的想像，而斯柯特則是繞過國家權力進行底層政治的觀察，讓我們意識到那些隱匿與不可見的抵抗形式。
除了不同理論觀點的介紹之外，我們將以台灣戰後民主化與本土化的政治發展來作為具體的討論對象，其中的主題包括了：從威權到民主的轉型、族群政治、中國因素、轉型正義、公民社會。從上述不同的面向中，一方面讓我們可以了解和思考台灣現實政治發展的歷史軌跡與重要變化，另一方面，從這些面向中來學習台灣政治社會學領域相關重要的研究成果。總體而言，本學期希望從討論和閱讀中讓同學可以熟悉政治社會學相關理論概念的思考，以及對台灣當下的政治處境有所啟發和省思。

In the development of sociological knowledge, the concepts and issues involved in political sociology constitute an important fundamental area. In this semester’s course schedule, we will first introduce four different approaches to theoretical thinking: Weber’s tradition, Marxist tradition, Durkheim/Tocqueville tradition, and Foucault/Scott tradition. Weber's classic discussion mainly involves important concepts such as dominance, legitimacy, and modern states, as well as issues such as war and state formation. Marx's theory brought us the perspective of class politics, and later Marxists put forward the idea of ​​national autonomy in the debate on class and state status. Durkheim and Tocqueville, two French thinkers, shifted their focus to civil society. In particular, Tocqueville’s observation of American democracy allows us to deeply think about the role and significance of citizen association and citizen participation in the formation of modern democratic society. Finally, Foucault's thinking on micro power subverts the traditional imagination of top-down state power, while Scott bypasses state power to observe underlying politics, making us aware of those hidden and invisible forms of resistance.
In addition to the introduction of different theoretical perspectives, we will take the political development of postwar democratization and localization in Taiwan as a specific discussion object. The topics include: transition from authoritarianism to democracy, ethnic politics, Chinese factors, transitional justice, and civil society. From the above different aspects, on the one hand, we can understand and think about the historical trajectory and important changes of Taiwan's real political development; on the other hand, we can learn from these aspects relevant important research results in the field of Taiwan's political sociology. Overall, I hope that through discussions and readings this semester, students can familiarize themselves with the thinking of relevant theoretical concepts in political sociology, as well as gain inspiration and reflection on Taiwan’s current political situation.
