This course is a study of power in the institutions of society, focusing on the state, groups that compete for control of the state, ideologies of state legitimacy, and the relationship of the state and capital. We will also look at how and why states and policies change over time. We will necessarily examine the ways in which race and ethnicity shape and are shaped by their interaction with the state.
