It was established in July 1961. Cornell was already in the process of setting up the Center when it appeared that substantial financial support might be available from the Ford Foundation to strengthen and expand its international studies. At the time of the mitia Ford grant in 1962, a collage of activities was brought under the administrative umbrella of CIS. The close relationship of the vanous programs with CIS has had the effect of consolidating and nia mg visible the full dimensions of international studies at Cornell and has facilitated the careful allocation of resources from various ZulS: J r thC CIS Umbrdla Were Anguished activities uch as the China Program and the Southeast Asia Program, whose histones antedate the Center.

  • Walter Galenson
    Walter Galenson December 5, 1914 — December 30, 1999 Walter Galenson, the son of Russian immigrants, was born in New York City. He graduated from Columbia University in 1935 and joined his father’s accounting firm. But coming of age during the depression had given him a concern of the problems of workers and he returned to Columbia for a Doctorate in Economics, which he received in 1940. He then devoted his career to studying how workers fared in both rich and poor countries, advising governments and unions on how to improve labor conditions and teaching about the role of labor in economic development. After working as principal economist in the War Department and Office of Strategic Services during World War II and serving as American labor attaché in Norway and Denmark during 1945-46, he returned to academia. He taught at Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley before moving to Cornell in 1966 where he was appointed the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor in the Department of Economics and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He spent the next 14 years on the faculty at Cornell and became a Professor Emeritus in 1980. During his career, Professor Galenson held a number of visiting positions, including the Pitt Professor of American History and Institutions at Cambridge University. He was a Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellow, served as president of the Association for Comparative Economic Studies and was an advisor to the International Labor Organization’s World Employment Program. Former Secretary of Labor and Harvard Professor John Dunlop, a longtime friend of Professor Galenson, described him as “a prolific scholar of industrial relations, labor movements in Scandinavia, and American labor unions and their federations.” His 28 published books included four volumes on American labor history, four on Scandinavian labor movements, three on labor in communist economies, six on comparative labor movements, and five on labor and economic growth in less developed countries.

    PREPARING FOR CHINA AT BERKELEY: 1960-63 Jerome A. Cohen* The University of California at Berkeley was a wonderful place to start learning about China in 1960. Of course, China - the real thing - would have been more exciting, but that option was not on the table. Soon after I began the long course of study required to understand the Chinese legal system, I actually wrote letters to both Chairman Mao Zedong and Prime Minister Zhou Enlai telling them of my quest to study the contemporary Chinese legal system and asking for the opportunity to visit the Promised Land. I never received a reply and supposed that they were too preoccupied with their angry correspondence with Khruschev and the Soviet Union to take on any new pen pals. I did, however, receive a surprise letter from Beijing soon after doing an interview with the Voice of America. VOA had focused on why an American law professor would devote himself to the study of Communist China's legal system, of all things. I gave them the obvious message - "peaceful hands across the sea to a forbidden land" - not knowing whether this English language broadcast would be heard in China. Yet this quickly produced a neatly-typed letter from an American woman named Dorothy Fischer, who was based in Beijing. She had heard the broadcast and was evidently interested in promoting my effort. Ms. Fischer identified herself as a former member of the American Communist Party, who had quit the party because it "was insufficiently advanced", and chosen to live in China. "Why don't you come to study in Beijing?", she asked.

  • Class and Social Movements in Scandinavia Since 1945 31
    Social Movements in the Nordic Countries since 1900 29 Flemming Mikkelsen links: Flemming Mikkelsen rechts: Class and Social Movements in Scandinavia Class and Social Movements since 1945 in Scandinavia since 1945 Abstract Since the end of the Second World War, economic affluence, a neoliberal turn in world politics and economic globalisation have questioned the relevance of social class as a useful social science category. Analysing the changing configuration of labour markets, structural insecurity, labour movements and welfare states, this essay tries to revive the empirical validity of the notion of working class in a Scandinavian context. As a starting point I discuss how changing occupational patterns and state intervention transformed the basic class structure of the three Scandinavian countries Denmark, Sweden and Nor- way. This led to new trends in consumption, saving and the way ordinary people coped with social insecurity. These developments made heavy demands on the labour move- ment, which was challenged from within by renewed grassroots activity, i. e. social move- ment unionism, and from without by new social movements. Recently the Scandinavian countries were exposed to globalisation. The result was a further division of the working class and new organisational and political cleavage structures. Introduction From a Scandinavian and European perspective the middle class and the farming class came out as the great innovators of society in the 19th century, whereas the working class turned out to be the dominant social force of the 20th century. This pattern lasted until the 1960s when working-class mobilisation lost momentum, whereupon pundits and scholars began to talk about the virtual disappearance of “the distinctive social formation we term ‘working class’.”1 Geoff Eley and Keith Nield even dedicated a special issue of the journal International Labor and Working-Class History to the recent study of social 1 Aristide Zolberg: Response: Working-Class Dissolution, in: International Labor and Working Class History 47 (1995), pp.
