Course Syllabus

Abstract

The course lasts for three years. The third year combines all the knowledge students got in the first two years of the course. The logic of the course and its structure are defined by the variety of answers for the questions about the conditions of formation, maintaining and reconfiguration/ destruction of the samples of social organization, and about the possible ways to analyze these processes suggested by sociology.
