WiSe 18/19: Bureaucracy Beyond the West
Markus-Michael Müller
Kommentar
This seminar familiarizes students with theoretical accounts and empirical examples in regard to the practices of bureaucratic institutions in the Global South. Drawing on Max Weber’s seminal work on bureaucracy, bureaucrats and bureaucracies in the Global South are often depicted as a deviation from what scholars and practitioners perceive as the norms of bureaucratic behavior. In turn, terms such as corruption, neopatrimonlialism or informality, are often used to describe non-Western bureaucratic practices. This seminar seeks to provide a more nuanced perspective on the functioning and complexities of state bureaucracies in the Global South, indicatig the ways in which these bureaucracies are key for understadning politics and state-society relations beyond the West and outside the conceptual 'iron cage' of Weberian approaches. To this end, the seminar is organized along a set of thematic sessions that make students familiar with central theoretical aspects on this topic and provide empirical cross-regional comparisons in order to capture commonalities and differences regarding the practices of bureaucratic institutions across the Global South.
