title and topic of the course:
Power, law, politics, law: a sociological introduction
Is power synonymous with politics?
Is law synonymous with law?
And even if it might not be so, why is it possible that in some cases things are in these terms?
With the help of some recent sociological schools, and keeping in the background the work of some classics such as Max Weber, we will try to make the attempt to answer the three previous questions an opportunity to introduce sociology, and therefore inevitably, to the critique of "State".
