Karl Deutsch Displayed His Deep Commitment to the Devel- Opment and Use of Knowledge for the Betterment of Hu- Mankind NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES KARL WOLFGANG DEUTSCH 1912–1992 A Biographical Memoir by RICHARD L. MERRITT, BRUCE M. RUSSETT, AND ROBERT A. DAHL Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 80 PUBLISHED 2001 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Plattner/A. Pedrett KARL WOLFGANG DEUTSCH July 21, 1912–November 1, 1992 BY RICHARD L. MERRITT, BRUCE M. RUSSETT, AND ROBERT A. DAHL ARL WOLFGANG DEUTSCH was born in 1912 in Prague, K Czechoslovakia. His father was an optician. His mother, active in various political causes both at home and inter- nationally, eventually became one of Czechoslovakia’s first female parliamentarians. After graduating with high honors in 1931 at the German Staatsrealgymnasium in Prague, Deutsch went on to take his first degree in 1934 at the Deutsche Universität in Prague. His advanced studies at that university were interrupted because of his outspoken leader- ship of anti-Nazi groups. After a clash with the faculty of the Deutsche Universität, which by then had fallen under the control of a pro-Nazi majority, he left for a period to study optics in England. Fortunately for the social sciences, his study of optics, together with his study of mathematics there and earlier, helped prepare him for his later pioneer- ing work in quantitative political science. On returning to Czechoslovakia he was granted admission to the Czech national Charles University, a signal honor for a German- ethnic Czech, where he attained high honors in seven fields and received his doctorate in law (JUDr) in 1938. Shortly thereafter, Deutsch and his new bride, Ruth, went to the United States for what was intended to be a brief stay. But with the capitulation of Britain and France to Hitler at Munich 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS and the Nazi takeover of the Sudetenland, Karl and Ruth decided it would be unsafe to return. In 1939 Karl and Ruth began a new life in the United States. The recipient of a student-funded scholarship for refugees from Nazism, Deutsch entered Harvard University for further graduate training. During his first years in America, he toured the country extensively, speaking on behalf of the Free Czechoslovak movement. America’s entry into the war led Deutsch into the service of the United States govern- ment, where among other things he was a major contributor to the famous “Blue Book” on Juan Peron’s efforts to extin- guish democracy in Argentina. Later he was a member of the International Secretariat of the San Francisco Conference of 1945, which created the United Nations. The war over, Deutsch resumed his doctoral studies at Harvard while teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Simultaneously he began publishing articles that showed both his mature scholarship and, more significantly, perspicacity in his view of society and politics. His disserta- tion, “Nationalism and Social Communication,” was awarded Harvard’s Sumner Prize in 1951. The following year Deutsch was promoted to the rank of professor of history and political science at MIT, and a year later his dissertation appeared as a book.1 Almost immediately Deutsch was in great demand in the scholarly community. In 1953-54 he was at the Center for Research on World Political Institutions at Princeton University, where he integrated the findings of an inter- disciplinary group with his own thinking and turned the result into a highly significant theoretical analysis of large- scale political integration, Political Community and the North Atlantic Area.2 During the year 1956-57 he was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Palo Alto, California, where he laid the basis for the KARL WOLFGANG DEUTSCH 5 book that would prove to be one of his most significant contributions, The Nerves of Government.3 During the same period he held a visiting appointment at the University of Chicago (in 1954) and received his first Guggenheim Fellow- ship (in 1955). In 1957 Deutsch went to Yale University as visiting pro- fessor and a year later accepted a permanent appointment as professor of political science. His first substantive accom- plishment there was the completion of a book (with Lewis J. Edinger), Germany Rejoins the Powers,4 that used data on public opinion, the background of elites, and economics to analyze the federal republic’s postwar progress, and was a highly original study of politics and society in West Germany. During his 10 years at Yale he completed the intellectual framework and set up an organization—the Yale Political Data Program—to develop quantitative indicators for test- ing significant theories and propositions in social science; organized a multi-university research team, sometimes called the Yale Arms Control Project, to investigate the prospects for arms control, disarmament, and steps toward unifica- tion in the Western European environment; and took on an increasingly important role in the development of inter- national social science. In 1960 he also held a visiting appoint- ment at Heidelberg University and in 1962 he was a visiting fellow at Nuffield College of Oxford University. Deutsch moved to Harvard University in 1967, and in 1971 was appointed Stanfield Professor of International Peace. Despite the rapidly growing demand for his appearance as a guest lecturer and his dramatically expanding role in inter- national social science, he continued his steady record of initiating and completing new projects. He held guest professorships at the Goethe University in Frankfurt-am- Main, the University of Geneva, Heidelberg University, the University of Mannheim, the University of Paris, and the 6 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS University of Zurich. He also lectured at major universities throughout the world, and served as consultant to various government agencies. And he received such further honors as a second Guggenheim Fellowship (in 1971) and appoint- ment as resident scholar at the Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies (1973-74). His colleagues gave testimony to their esteem for his work by electing him to offices in numerous scholarly orga- nizations. Deutsch was elected president of the New England Political Science Association in 1964-65; president of the American Political Science Association in 1969-70, after having served as program chairman of its 1963 annual meeting; and president of the Peace Science Society (International) in 1973. He served the International Political Science Asso- ciation as a member of the program committee (1970-76), coordinator of the triennial International Political Science Association world congress (Montreal, 1973), vice-president, and finally as president for 1976-79. He received six honorary degrees from American and European universities. Deutsch made his impact on scholarship not only by his numerous publications but also equally from the force and manner of his personal presentations. His commitment to teaching was manifested in both lectures and seminars. His undergraduate lectures, although often extemporaneous, almost always combined profundity with wit. At Yale he gave uncounted lectures to packed lecture halls, and virtually without exception each lecture was followed by an ovation. Yale undergraduates honored him in 1965 by awarding him the William Benton Prize of the Yale Political Union for having done most to stimulate and maintain political interest on campus—an award, incidentally, that alone was featured prominently in the Deutsch home. During a period when many graduate students in political science were seeking a greater degree of analytical rigor KARL WOLFGANG DEUTSCH 7 and concern for quantitative evidence than had characterized the field, they found Deutsch’s combination of intellect, range, and verve enormously stimulating. His teaching skills were also revealed in his two influential textbooks, The Analysis of International Relations5 and Politics and Government,6 which not only made basic material accessible to students but also stimulated their involvement in serious analysis of political phenomena. His influence on students was so great that some of the most productive scholars who followed him in the fields of international and comparative politics had been students in his seminars. Deutsch believed that an important part of his task as educator was to present guest lectures at universities and elsewhere in the United States. He was invariably generous with his time and his thoughts and seemed happiest when he engaged an individual or audience in an intellectual dialogue where the give and take of discussion, with both challenges and stimulation, provided an opportunity for him, as well as his audience, to learn something new. He was noted for his ability to generate enormous numbers of ideas in rapid-fire fashion, typically in what appeared to be, and probably was, a spontaneous association of ideas, when he would briefly consider a bit of data or an idea and immedi- ately ask for more information or come forth with a new hypothesis or even a full-blown theory. Although he ran the risk of propounding ideas that were not well thought out and on further consideration might prove to be mistaken, the sheer volume of his intellectual sparks generated a fire that stimulated his audiences to think more deeply about his remarks. In his relations with students Deutsch was interactive, nurturant, generative. He truly cared about his students and former students. Above and beyond normal expecta- tions, he helped

    ABSTRACT DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE WESTFIELD, ALWYN W BA. HONORS UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX, 1976 MS. LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, 1977 THE IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP ON POLITICS AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES UNDER EBENEZER THEODORE JOSHUA AND ROBERT MILTON CATO Committee Chair: Dr. F.SJ. Ledgister Dissertation dated May 2012 This study examines the contributions of Joshua and Cato as government and opposition political leaders in the politics and political development of SVG. Checklist of variable of political development is used to ensure objectivity. Various theories of leadership and political development are highlighted. The researcher found that these theories cannot fully explain the conditions existing in small island nations like SVG. SVG is among the few nations which went through stages of transition from colonialism to associate statehood, to independence. This had significant effect on the people and particularly the leaders who inherited a bankrupt country with limited resources and 1 persistent civil disobedience. With regards to political development, the mass of the population saw this as some sort of salvation for fulfillment of their hopes and aspirations. Joshua and Cato led the country for over thirty years. In that period, they have significantly changed the country both in positive and negative directions. These leaders made promises of a better tomorrow if their followers are prepared to make sacrifices. The people obliged with sacrifices, only to become disillusioned because they have not witnessed the promised salvation. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that in the process of competing for political power, these leaders have created a series of social ills in SVG.

  • SS 12 Paper V Half 1 Topic 1B
    Systems Analysis of David Easton 1 Development of the General Systems Theory (GST) • In early 20 th century the Systems Theory was first applied in Biology by Ludwig Von Bertallanfy. • Then in 1920s Anthropologists Bronislaw Malinowski ( Argonauts of the Western Pacific ) and Radcliffe Brown ( Andaman Islanders ) used this as a theoretical tool for analyzing the behavioural patterns of the primitive tribes. For them it was more important to find out what part a pattern of behaviour in a given social system played in maintaining the system as a whole, rather than how the system had originated. • Logical Positivists like Moritz Schilick, Rudolf Carnap, Otto Von Newrath, Victor Kraft and Herbert Feigl, who used to consider empirically observable and verifiable knowledge as the only valid knowledge had influenced the writings of Herbert Simon and other contemporary political thinkers. • Linguistic Philosophers like TD Weldon ( Vocabulary of Politics ) had rejected all philosophical findings that were beyond sensory verification as meaningless. • Sociologists Robert K Merton and Talcott Parsons for the first time had adopted the Systems Theory in their work. All these developments in the first half of the 20 th century had impacted on the application of the Systems Theory to the study of Political Science. David Easton, Gabriel Almond, G C Powell, Morton Kaplan, Karl Deutsch and other behaviouralists were the pioneers to adopt the Systems Theory for analyzing political phenomena and developing theories in Political Science during late 1950s and 1960s. What is a ‘system’? • Ludwig Von Bertallanfy: A system is “a set of elements standing in inter-action.” • Hall and Fagan: A system is “a set of objects together with relationships between the objects and between their attributes.” • Colin Cherry: The system is “a whole which is compounded of many parts ..

  • Liberalism in a Realist World: International Relations As an American Scholarly Tradition
    Liberalism in a Realist World: International Relations as an American Scholarly Tradition G. John Ikenberry The study of international relations (IR) is a worldwide pursuit with each country having its own theoretical orientations, preoccupations and debates. Beginning in the early twentieth century, the US created its own scholarly traditions of IR. Eventually, IR became an American social science with the US becoming the epicentre for a worldwide IR community engaged in a set of research programmes and theoretical debates. The discipline of IR emerged in the US at a time when it was the world’s most powerful state and a liberal great power caught in a struggle with illiberal rivals. This context ensured that the American theoretical debates would be built around both power and liberal ideals. Over the decades, the two grand projects of realism and liberalism struggled to define the agenda of IR in the US. These traditions have evolved as they attempted to make sense of contemporary developments, speak to strategic position of the US and its foreign policy, as well as deal with the changing fashions and stand- ards of social science. The rationalist formulations of realism and liberalism sparked reactions and constructivism has arisen to offer counterpoints to the rational choice theory. Keywords: International Relations Theory, Realism, Liberalism The study of International Relations (IR) is a worldwide pursuit but every country has its own theoretical orientations, preoccupations and debates. This is true for the American experience—and deeply so. Beginning in the early twentieth cen- tury, the US created its own scholarly traditions of IR.

Political Order and Political Decay THE POLITICAL GAP The most important political distinction among countries con­ i cerns not their form of government but their degree of govern­ ment. The differences between democracy and dictatorship are less i than the differences between those countries whose politics em­ , bodies consensus, community, legitimacy, organization, effective­ ness, stability, and those countries whose politics is deficient in these qualities. Communist totalitarian states and Western liberal .states both belong generally in the category of effective rather than debile political systems. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union have different forms of government, but in all three systems the government governs.

  • Karl Wolfgang Deutsch (1912–1992)
    ANNIVERSARY Karl Wolfgang Deutsch (1912–1992) Karl Wolfgang Deutsch was born on 21 July 1912 in Prague, Austro-Hungary, to German-speaking parents. His father Martin was an optician and his mother Maria Scharf was one of the fi rst female parliamentarians in the newly established Czechoslovakia following the First World War. Deutsch graduated from the Ger- man Staatsrealgymnasium in Prague with high honours in 1931. He received his fi rst university degree from the Deutsche Uni- versität, also in Prague, in 1934. Deutsch’s outspoken leadership of anti-Nazi groups forced him to interrupt his studies and seek refuge in England where he studied optics and mathematics. Though he never pursued a career in optics, his expertise in and affection for this profession helped him later in his academic career to develop © Courtesy of WZB an interest in quantitative political science Karl Wolfgang Deutsch both as a fundamentally new epistemology as well as an innovative method- ology. Deutsch returned to Prague to obtain his JD law degree from the Czech na- tional Charles University in 1938, graduating with high honours in seven fi elds. This was a signal honour for a German-ethnic Czech in this time of bitter an- tagonism between ethnic Czechs and Germans. In 1939 Deutsch was awarded a fellowship to study at Harvard University, from which he received his PhD in political science in 1951. America’s entry into the Second World War led Deutsch to offer his services to the United States government as an analyst of authoritarian and totalitarian political systems. It was through this involvement that Deutsch became one of the main contributors to the famous ‘Blue Book’ on Juan Domingo Peron’s efforts to extinguish democracy in Argentina.

  • The Austrian State Facing Nationalist's Visions of Nationhood
    AUSTRIA FACING THE RISE OF NATIONHOOD IN FIN DE SIÈCLE BOHEMIA AND MORAVIA By Philipp Decker Submitted to Central European University Department of Nationalism Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Anton Pelinka CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 Abstract This thesis deals with the nationalization process in nineteenth century Bohemia and Moravia. While a growing group of historians argues that the policies and legal reforms performed by the Imperial Austrian state led to the institutionalization and the enforcement of nationality as a category among a nationally indifferent population, this thesis is going to show that reforms and state policies were only one factor which occurred at a time where national alignments within society have already taken root. The hypothesis is that the cultural and societal conditions in Bohemia and Moravia, in combination with the rise of Nationalism (as a consequence of several processes of modernization), led to national alignment along linguistic lines. This dynamic process of nationalization will be explained by referring to Karl Deutsch’s theory of social communication. The thesis concludes that it was not so much the failure of the Imperial elite which led to the rise of nationhood but rather cultural conditions in combination with effects of modernization in several spheres. Mass-schooling, literacy and mass-printing led to an increasing importance of language as a cleavage. The majority of the population did not care about ‘nationality’ in everyday life. However, through social communication a certain sense of commonality was transmitted which crystallized in certain situations of conflict.
