Membership includes subscription to The American Political Science Review and PS. To be eligible, applicants must (currently) reside in one of the Asian countries listed below. 2) To enable labraries, university departments, and research institutes in Asia, who have heretofore been unable to do so, to subscribe to The American Political Science Review and PS. 3) To supplement travel expenses (maximum $100) of Asian political scientists who are temporarily in the United States and who wish to attend meetings of The American Political Science Association. The next meeting will be held September 5-9, 1971 in the Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C. (Applicants must be at least at the graduate student level and may come from any of the following Asian countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Cambodia, Ceylon, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, the Ryukyus, the Republic of China (Taiwan), Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Applicants who have not previously received grants will be given first consideration. Application forms may be obtained from The American Political Science Association, 1527 New Hampshire Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. 214 PS Spring 1972 THE POLICY STUDIES ORGANIZATION AN INVITATION TO MEMBERSHIP A new organization is in the process of being formed to promote th'e application of political science to important public policy problems. To implement the above purpose, the Policy Studies Organization will establish a newsletter describing the current literature, conferences, ongoing research, jobs, grants, issues, and other matters of interest to political scientists and practitioners, teaching, researching, or practicing in some policy studies field. The newsletter will be jointly edited by experts on policy problems relating to economic regulation, environ- mental protection, crime, education, poverty, peace, civil liberties, elec- tions, and general policy science. Activities besides the newsletter might include (1) encouraging rele- vant panels at national and regional conventions, (2) sponsoring special conferences, (3) maintaining an information clearinghouse of policy studies research and personnel, and (4) obtaining group discounts for relevant subscriptions and books. Small grants have already been obtained for organizing activities from the National Science Foundation and the University of Illinois. If you are interested in becoming a charter member of the Policy Studies Organization as described above, please send a check to Stuart Nagel, Department of Political Science, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801. Dues are only $5.00 a year. Newsletters and other literature will be sent to your return address which should be clearly indicated on your envelope. Once the initial membership has been established, the members or an elected committee can then determine in greater detail the structure, officers, and specific functions of the Policy Studies Organization. The first general meeting will probably be held in conjunction with the American Political Science Association meeting in Washington, D.C., in September, 1972. The Steering Committee of the Policy Studies Organization (James Anderson, David Caputo, Yehezkel Dror, Thomas Dye, George Grassmuck, Ralph Huitt, Alvin Kaltman, Robert Lane, Theodore Lowi, Dean Mann, Duncan MacRae, Stuart Nagel, David Paletz, Ira Sharkansky, Peter Szanton, George Warnecke) 215 1 INDEX TO ADVERTISERS ] ABC-Clio 233 Allyn & Bacon, Inc. 251 American Enterprise Institute 236 Arizona State University Press 237 Basic Books 218,219 Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. 230, 231 Chronicle of Higher Education 237 Congressional Quarterly 227 Cornell University Press 252, 253 Dodd, Mead & Co. 238 Dorsey Press 239 Duxbury Press 240, 241 Free Press 228, 229 Harcourt, Brace Jovanovich — College 224, 225, 226 Harper & Row, College 232 D.C.

  • The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of GEORGE A. LUNDBERG
    The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of George A. Lundberg The Behavioral Sciences: Essays in Honor of GEORGE A. LUNDBERG edited by ALFRED DE GRAZIA RoLLoHANDY E. C. HARWOOD PAUL KURTZ published by The Behavioral Research Council Great Barrington, Massachusetts Copyright © 1968 by Behavioral Research Council Preface This volume of collected essays is dedicated to the memory of George A. Lundberg. It is fitting that this volume is published under the auspices of the Behavioral Research Council. George Lundberg, as its first President, and one of its founding members, was dedicated to the goals of the Behavioral Research Council: namely, the encouragement and development of behavioral science research and its application to the problems of men in society. He has been a constant inspiration to behavioral research not only in sociology, where he was considered to be a classic figure and a major influence but in the behavioral sciences in general. Part One of this volume includes papers on George Lundberg and his scientific work, particularly in the field of sociology. Orig­ inally read at a special conference of the Pacific Sociological Association (March 30-April 1, 1967), the papers are here pub­ lished by permission of the Society. Part Two contains papers not directly on George Lundberg but on themes and topics close to his interest. They are written by members of the Behavioral Research Council. We hope that this volume is a token, however small, of the pro­ found contribution that George Lundberg has made to the de­ velopment of the behavioral sciences. We especially wish to thank the contributors of the George A.

  • Political Science
    Political Science CLIFTON BROCK “REVOLUTION”PROBABLY IS THE most overused and abused word in the English language. It is made to do service in describing everything from the violent overthrow of legal govern- ments, its primal social meaning, to the action of a Paris fashion salon in raising hemlines three inches above the knee. Webster, however, decrees two other and more general meanings for the word: “going round in an orbit” and “a total or radical change.” If we use the term in these senses, political science is undergoing a revolution. Since about 1950 the ancient discipline once known as the “queen of the sciences” has been shifting and turning and churning in a manner which Aristotle no doubt would find unseemly. The characteristics, results and desirability of this revolution are matters of considerable controversy within the discipline. There is not even agreement on what label to attach to the upheaval, though most political scientists-whether or not they liked what it designated- probably would settle for the label “behavioral revolution.” The behavioral movement was 2 largely a protest against the tradi- tional concerns and preoccupations of political scientists, both in terms of substance and procedure. Behavioralists felt that the traditional focus on legal governments, the “institutionalist” approach, was sub- stantively misdirected and procedurally restrictive. Put superficially, their contention was that “institutions do not act, only men act,” and their injunction was to study the political activity of men, not just that small segment of it which took place in large concrete buildings in Washington, London, Moscow, Sacramento, or in the local city hall.

The Chief Archivist at Carlisle Barracks, Pa, where personal documents relating to the Army are stored, thinks that it may be the largest extant collection of correspondence between a soldier and a person on the home front: his opinion is shared by other persons at the Hoover Library at Stanford University, the Army Historical Section in Washington, and archivists elsewhere. It may be the last of its species, too, because the revolution in tele-communications that lets the front line talk to anyone in the world, because the great airplanes of today can carry troops everywhere including home, and because so long a war, and, hopefully, perhaps a great war itself, is not foreseeable.

  • Discovering National Elites: Table of Contents
    TABLE OF CONTENTS DISCOVERING NATIONAL ELITES A Manual of Methods for Discovering the Leadership of a Society and Its Vulnerabilities to Propaganda by ALFRED DE GRAZIA with the collaboration of PAUL DEUTSCHMANN AND FLOYD HUNTER THE INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISTIC STUDIES STANFORD UNIVERSITY SEPTEMBER 30, 1954 First Public Edition, <www.Grazian-archive,com> 2000 Copyright © 2000 by Alfred de Grazia Preface to the first publicly available edition of the Manual of Elite Target Analysis. In 1953-4, Alfred de Grazia, who was then Executive Officer of the Committee for Research in Social Science and Associate Professor of Political Science at Stanford University, submitted a proposal to the Department of State to write a manual that would help train federal employees assigned to culturally diverse countries around the world. It was a period of great and expanding scope of U.S. operations abroad. Upon its acceptance, he invited two colleagues from the fields of sociology and communication studies to collaborate. By the year 2000, both colleagues, distinguished leaders in their fields, were long deceased; yet the manual of Elite Target Analysis had not been published, beyond the copies used internally by government officials. There was never any secrecy about the activity or the manual. And it is hardly superseded in theory and practice, although it was prepared in the age of the hand-punched card or machine-sorted Hollarith card, and it was a generation preceding the sophisticated generally available computer network. Despite the new technology that would be applied, strictly comparable pragmatic works seem not yet to be available. www.grazian-archive.com <http://www.grazian-archive.com> 7 September 2000 ELITE TARGET INTELLIGENCE An outline of the Manual PART A: ELEMENTS OF TARGET ANALYSIS I.

Box 1213, Princeton, N.J., 08542, U.S.A. 3 To Sebastian primus inter pares Q-CD vol. 6, Homo Schizo I, Foreword 4 FOREWORD Most scholars believe that man has progressed since his original appearance on earth. Probably so, but it has been a strange kind of progress, not well understood, and often showing a negative balance of the "bad" over the "good." Some scholars believe that man is a rational animal. In limited ways he is, but, again, it is a strange kind of rationality, more ape-like than other traits of humans that are called "non-ration- al." For, to preview an argument that comes later, man is con- tinually seeking ways to reestablish the uninterrupted instinc- tive responses of his forebears, and this is the homologue of "rationality." When Descartes wrote of animals as machines, he was obviously unaware that the precise "rationality" of man, which he, of all philosophers, elevated to awesome status, was just this homologue of the machine and animal.

It deals especially with the freedoms that scientists grant or withhold from one another. The book is also for people who are interested in new theories of cosmogony - the causes of the skies, the earth, and humankind as we see them. It is, finally, a book for people who are fascinated by human conflict, in this case a struggle among some of the most educated, elevated, and civilized characters of our times. These lines are being written a few weeks after the launching of a carefully prepared book attacking the growing position of Immanuel Velikovsky in intellectual circles [1].

Humans, that is, are naturally somewhat crazy, by all definitions of that term among practicing psychologists. A book on human nature, especially if it contains a theory of instincts, needs an apology. The International Encyclopedia of Social Sciences of 1968 carried no article on human nature. Its direct predecessor, the Encyclopedia of Social Science of 1932, did publish such an article, written by John Dewey, where he opined that social experiments might ultimately reveal the limits of what humans could achieve and tolerate; we hope that they have not yet done so. Some 16,000 articles and reports in psychology were noted in Psychological Abstracts in 1979. None was grouped under the heading of "human nature." There was no such heading.
