Curr. 2021 § 5 (1) 10: Students are able to explain theories and analyses on the emergence and transformation of social institutions - especially institutions of politics, the market and civil society. They learn about the ways in which these institutions function and interplay in societies. The students know central social science debates, terms and methods for the analysis of market, state and social institutions and organisations.

The course accompanies the lecture of the same name. In addition to conceptual clarifications of the understanding and function of various social institutions, transformation processes in particular will be examined. 

The meetings focus on the discussion of sociological theories, which will be prepared individually by the participants. These theories will be elaborated in greater depth in small groups using examples from institutions of politics, the market and civil society.
