Hierarchy is a persistent feature of international politics. Existing accounts recognize that there are many ways in which actors can stand in relation to one another. Yet they struggle to make sense of this complexity. This study considers Max Weber’s contribution to understanding international hierarchy. It discusses three ideal types of stratification based on the distribution of capabilities (class), estimations of honor and prestige (status), and command relationships (authority). Following the neo-Weberian approach, these dimensions matter because they make social action intelligible. Furthermore, Weber clarifies how class and status are connected and how these two dimensions relate to authority through the process of ‘social closure’. The study concludes that scholars who focus exclusively on authority structures miss the fact that authority typically derives from other forms of stratification: although based on different logics of social stratification, class and status hierarchies often coalesce into (legitimate) authority.

El análisis del surgimiento de las diferencias sociales es un tema central de la sociología clásica. Permite conocer cómo y por qué se generan jerarquías, inequidades y contrastes entre los seres humanos, así como explicar los comportamientos que se derivan de dichos fenómenos. En efecto, desde 1755, cuando Jean Jacques Rousseau publicara su Discurso sobre los orígenes de la desigualdad entre los hombres, pasando por múltiples otros textos, entre los cuales sobresalen algunos de Marx y de toda la tradición marxista, así como de la sociología clásica, los de Reinhard Bendix y Seymour Martin Lipset (veáse la compilación de dichos autores, Class, Status and Power. Social Stratification in Comparative Perspective, publicada en 1966), hasta análisis recientes como los que acaba de publicar la Comisión Económica para América latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) (Revista de la CEPAL, 103, abril de 2011), la cuestión de las diferencias sociales ha sido un tema central del análisis sociológico. Dicha preocupación no se enfoca únicamente en acotar los límites dentro de los cuales se originan dichas diferencias, sino también sobre las consecuencias que ellas tienen, por ejemplo, en la esfera política. En efecto, en gran medida la sociología política ha buscado determinar las correlaciones entre la estratificación social y el comportamiento electoral.

Abstract As a country with multiple ethnicities, religions, and cultures, Indonesia has been suffering from protracted waves of inter-ethnic conflicts among its peoples. This research uses Critical Discourse Analysis (cda) to survey an array of mass and social media outlets, existing policies, and statistics to describe and interpret inter-ethnic relations between Tionghoa (Chinese Indonesians) and Javanese Pribumi (indigenous Indonesian Muslims). It adopts the Weberian three-factor social stratification model to group these relations under three main headings: class, status, and party. The analysis of this research is also enriched by using Geert Hofstede’s cultural-dimension theory. This research shows that Indonesia is socially stratified along Tionghoa-Pribumi lines. Importantly, the analysis also exposes that this stratification is not primarily due to economic inequalities as commonly assumed, but rather the result of deep religious and cultural incompatibilities and inadequate policies. Ultimately, Indonesia’s social stratification exacerbates the existing social inequality and perpetuates antagonistic Tionghoa-Pribumi relations.
