Speier was a lecturer in political sociology and economics in Germany (1931-1933) before emigrating to the U.S. to accept a position as lecturer and professor of political sociology on the newly formed Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York (1933-1942, 1947-1948), lecturing summers at the University of Illinois (1941) and the University of Michigan (1941). Speier interrupted his university career for one in government service and research, but returned to teaching in 1969 at the University - Page 3- Speier, Hans; Papers ger084 of Massachusetts, Amherst (1969-1973), where he held the title of Robert M. MacIver Professor of Sociology and Government. Between 1942 and 1948, Speier served in the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service of the Federal Communications Commission (later Chief of the Central European Section), advisor on propaganda policy to the Director of the Overseas Branch, Office of War Information, and eventually became Associate Chief of the State Department's Occupied Areas Division. In 1948, Speier joined the staff of The Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California, first serving as the Organizer and Head of the Social Science Division from 1948 to 1960, later becoming a member of the Rand Research Council from 1960-1968. Speier's research interests focus on the political implications of military affairs and the influence of military power on the behavior of governments in the conduct of his foreign policies. He authored or co- edited numerous books and articles on these subjects, including German Radio Propaganda (with Ernst Kris, 1944), Social Order and the Risks of War (1952), West German Leadership and Foreign Policy (with W. Davison, 1957), German Rearmament and Atomic War (1957), Divided Berlin: The Anatomy of Soviet Political Blackmail (1961), Die Angestellten vor dem Nationalsozialismus (1977; English title: German White Collar Workers and the Rise of Hitler), and Propaganda and Communication in World History (co-edited with Harold Lasswell and Daniel Lerner, 3 vols., 1979-1980). He also published his translation of Grimmelshausen's Courage, the Adventuress and the False Messiah (1964), as well his autobiographical account, From the Ashes of Disgrace: A Journal from Germany 1945-1955 (1981). Speier was married twice, first in 1929 to Lisa (Luise) Griesbach, with whom he had two children, Sybil D. and Steven W. Lisa Speier died in 1965 and Speier married his second wife Margit in February 1967. Hans Speier, the last surviving member of the famed Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research, died at the age of 85 on February 17, 1990 while vacationing in Sarasota, Florida. 1905 Born on February 3 in Berlin, Germany; son of Adolf and Anna Person Speier. 1923-1928 Studied Economics, Modern History and Sociology at the Universities of Berlin and Heidelberg. 1928 Received Dr. Phil. degree from the University of Heidelberg, where he was the assistant to Professor Emil Lederer. 1928-1930 Social Science editor at Ullstein Publishing House, Berlin. 1929 August 30, married Lisa (Luise) Griesbach (two children, Sybil D. and Steven W.) 1931-1933 Lecturer in Political Sociology at the College for Politics (Hochschule für Politik), Berlin and Assistant in the Department of Economics, - Page 4- Speier, Hans; Papers ger084 University of Berlin.

  • Biography of Harold Dwight Lasswell
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES H A R O L D D W I G H T L ASS W ELL 1902—1978 A Biographical Memoir by GA BRIEL A. ALMOND Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1987 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. HAROLD DWIGHT LASSWELL February 13, 1902-December 18, 1978 BY GABRIEL A. ALMOND AROLD D. LASSWELL ranks among the half dozen cre- Hative innovators in the social sciences in the twentieth century. Few would question that he was the most original and productive political scientist of his time. While still in his twenties and early thirties, he planned and carried out a re- search program demonstrating the importance of personal- ity, social structure, and culture in the explanation of political phenomena. In the course of that work he employed an array of methodologies that included clinical and other kinds of interviewing, content analysis, para-experimental tech- niques, and statistical measurement. It is noteworthy that two decades were to elapse before this kind of research program and methodology became the common property of a disci- pline that until then had been dominated by historical, legal, and philosophical methods. Lasswell was born in 1902 in Donnellson, Illinois (popu- lation ca. 300). His father was a Presbyterian clergyman, his mother, a teacher; an older brother died in childhood. His early family life was spent in small towns in Illinois and In- diana as his father moved from one pulpit to another, and it stressed intellectual and religious values.

  • Political Psychology
    Political psychology James Walter (Monash University) Paul ‘t Hart (Australian National University and Utrecht University) Draft chapter for R.A.W. Rhodes (ed.), The Australian Study of Politics in the Twentieth Century. To be published 2009. 2 Political psychology: a field and its themes Political psychology, foreshadowed in the 1930s (Lasswell, 1930), emerged as a distinct subfield of political science in the mid-1970s in the United States, although its intellectual roots are commonly traced back centuries to early French crowd psychologists such as Tarde and LeBon (van Ginneken, 1992). Its emergence in modern form, with the application of formal psychological theory to politics, dates from the early twentieth century, with Sigmund Freud (1927, 1930), but also impelled by founders of the new discipline of political science, such as Graham Wallas (1908). Studies of individual political actors dominated political psychology from the early twentieth century until the 1950s. These were strongly influenced by psychoanalytic assumptions, deriving from Freud’s own biographical essays, but given impetus by Harold Lasswell’s (1930) psychologically informed interpretations of the motives behind political engagement, of political discourse as the key to attitudes (Lasswell et al, 1949) and of the uses of power (Lasswell, 1948). Lasswell seeded the fields of personality and politics (Greenstein, 1987), attitude formation and its relation to ideology (Lane 1962, 1969) and studies of power, including dispositions of power in international relations (Etheredge, 1978). From the mid twentieth century, there was a burgeoning of interest in a second domain—mass political behaviour—that all but eclipsed the focus on individuals as activists (Kuklinski 2002).

  • 1. Chimpanzee Politics and Legitimate Violence: a Brief Introduction to Politics and States
    1. Chimpanzee Politics and Legitimate Violence: A Brief Introduction to Politics and States The American federal government is merely one government out of a vast number of governments at national, local, and intermediate levels, a single case study rather than a model of what government in general looks like. And governments in general are just case studies in politics, which is a more extensive concept than government, and encompasses behavior that is older than humanity. So to properly understand the American federal government (and the overall American political system) we need to start with some understanding of politics and government, along with some related political concepts. 1. POLITICS: WHO GETS WHAT, WHEN, AND HOW Political Scientists have given us numerous definitions of politics, which may indicate that we’re not exactly sure what it is we’re studying. These three are, I believe, the most well-known. 1. Politics is “the authoritative allocation of values for the society” (David Easton).1 2. “[T]he essence of politics lies in power. of relationships of superordination, or dominance and submission, of the governors and the governed“ (V.O. Key).2 3. “The study of politics is the study of influence and the influential. Politics [is] who gets what, when, and, how” (Harold Lasswell).”3 Although they use different words, these definitions all have a common focal point: politics is about who determines the outcomes: who allocates values; who governs; who dominates whom; who gets what, when, and how. For the purposes of this book, Lasswell’s definition – “politics is who gets what, when, and how” — will be the dominant theme.
