Global Models
Qualitative models may help us to recognize similarities among patterns in society and politics. Quantitative models, usually in mathemati cal form, help us to recognize general trends and directions of change. The conditions for this construction of large-scale world models developed between 1960 and 1975. Thus far, about three dozen world models have been built. By way of illustration, one of the most recently finished models, GLOBUS, developed…
The analysis of international relations
Towards the scientific understanding of nationalism and national development
This article is the text of the Stein Rokkan Memorial Lecture delivered at the ECPR Joint Workshops in Freiburg in 1983. It critically evaluates the historical development of studies of nationalism, and then shows how the research strategy developed by Stein Rokkan was an attempt to overcome the weaknesses of earlier approaches
State Functions and the Future of the State
A typology of states classified as either enforcement or service states leads to further distinctions among regulation, laissez-faire, planning, welfare, revolutionary and adaptive states. The typology provides a base for speculations about the long term future of the State

Space and Freedom
An examination of the problems posed to freedom by the severe incompatibility of human groups that live in close contact and have a high level of mutual interdepen dence; and an examination of some techniques — temporary separation in particular — by which these problems can be, if not resolved, at least rendered manageable
Design for Whom? Power for What
Coping with the Risks of Peace
Fear of Science--Trust in Science
presenting such descriptive data, the authors in most cases identify major theoretical perspectives, predominantly functionalist, for interpretations of trends in courtship, marriage, and family. Together these are sufficient to introduce students to basic sociological approaches to the study of the family in Canada. Courses that present a more extended treatment and further development of theoretical perspectives and other salient issues, such a…
The Crisis of the State
IN THIS PRESENT-DAY WORLD, THE STATE - AND THIS IS TYPIcally the more or less sovereign national state - is both indispensable and inadequate. It is an indispensable instrument to get many things done, to provide many needed services and to deal with many real problems. But it is inadequate to cope with an increasing number of other problems of life and death for many of its inhabitants. No state today can protect the lives of its citizens in the…
Political Research in the Changing World System
Humankind is undergoing greater changes than it ever has before. These are related primarily to quantitative and qualitative demographic changes; technological and military capabilities; the emergence of information-rich societies; the presence of a diversity of viable and self-confident social and economic systems; the disparity between human expectations and accomplishments; and efforts to mobilize the effective thought of man kind. From these …
In Memory of Stein Rokkan, 1921-1979
A Voyage of the Mind, 1930–1980
POLITICS WAS A CONCERN OF MINE SINCE I WAS SIX YEARS OLD. It did not start in the library. It began a decade before 1930 in the campaign meetings of my mother who was one of the first women Members of Parliament in the Czechoslovak Republic, for the Social Democratic Party in a Sudeten German workingclass constituency. By 1930 I was 18 years old and an active member of the youth organization of that party. In that year I saw Nazi parades in Berli…
Transnational Communications and the International System
Observable data on the relative share of transnational vs. national transactions in trade, travel, university studies, mail, and telephone calls reveal a common pattern. First, the absolute level of such activities has increased since 1900. Second, in developed countries the international share of these activities remained constant or declined after peaking. Third, although in such areas as science and technology international transactions have b…
On World Models and Political Science
WE HAVE ENTERED UPON A NEW STAGE IN POLITICAL SCIENCE as well as in the study of world affairs, the stage of large-scale computer-based world models. These models became practicable because of three changes. First, thanks to the United Nations and many national governments, many more better quality statistical data have now become available. Secondly, because of the techniques of sampling and of interviewing, we now can have survey data from very…

On Inequality and Limited Growth
Today's world is poor, unequal, and ungovernable. Quantitative data and analytic arguments are offered for the present state and current trends in these three respects in the international system of nations. Assumptions and perspectives of future scarcity and limited growth are viewed in light of these existing conditions, and an effort is made to assess their expected material, psychological, and political impact. The “limited growth” perspectiv…

Social Mobilization and Political Development
Social mobilization is a name given to an overall process of change, which happens to substantial parts of the population in countries which are moving from traditional to modern ways of life. It denotes a concept which brackets together a number of more specific processes of change, such as changes of residence, of occupation, of social setting, of face-to-face associates, of institutions, roles, and ways of acting, of experiences and expectatio…
Multipolar Power Systems and International Stability
In the classical literature of diplomatic history, the balance-of-power concept occupies a central position. Regardless of one's interpretation of the term or one's preference for or antipathy to it, the international relations scholar cannot escape dealing with it. The model is, of course, a multifaceted one, and it produces a fascinating array of corollaries; among these, the relationship between the number of actors and the stability of the sy…

National Industrialization and the Declining Share of the International Economic Sector, 1890–1959
About the beginning of the present century, the economic historian Werner Sombart proposed an interesting generalization. The share of foreign trade in total national income, he said, was bound to decline in every country as it became more industrialized
The Growth of Nations
At many places and times, tribes have merged to form peoples; and peoples have grown into nations. Some nations founded empires; and empires have broken up again into fragments whose populations later attempted again to form larger units. In certain respects, this sequence appears to describe a general process found in much of history. This process shows a number of patterns which seem to recur, and which to a limited extent seem to be comparable…

Integration and Arms Control in the European Political Environment
At the heart of our research was a single basic question: What arms control and disarmament measures might be acceptable to Europeans in 1966, in 1971, and in 1976? And differently put: What would be Europe's attitude in those years either to arms competition or to arms control, and what particular policies would be most popular or least popular in Europe in this respect? This basic question implied four more detailed questions. The first, What i…

Mechanism, Organism, and Society
Men think in terms of models. Their sense organs abstract the events which touch them; their memories store traces of these events as coded symbols; and they may recall them according to patterns which they learned earlier, or recombine them in patterns that are new. In all this, we may think of our thought as consisting of symbols which are put in relations or sequences according to operating rules. Both symbols and operating rules are acquired,…
On Political Theory and Political Action
This paper is a revision of the Presidential Address delivered to the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Los Angeles, California, September 10, 1970. It identifies nine aspects of political theories: storage and retrieval of memories; assistance to insight; simplification of knowledge; heuristic effectiveness; self-critical cognition; normative awareness of values; scientifically testable knowledge; pragmatic skill…
The Tread of European Nationalism—the Language Aspect
In recent years, public opinion in the democratic countries has become increasingly aware of the dangers inherent in the unlimited competition of a host of rival nationalistic movements and sovereign nation-states. Having recognized it as a danger to be overcome, many liberal thinkers, like the experts of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, or Mr. Max Lerner, are prone to assume that the trend toward nationalistic disintegration has alr…

Nationalism and Social Communication
Communication and Responsibility
We spend much of our lives in groups, ranging from family and play groups to castes and classes, peoples and nations. What holds each group together? What sets its boundaries? What permits a group to act with a measure of self-determination? When different individuals clash, or different groups collide, just what is in conflict? Toghther these questions indicate the problem area of communication and organization.... Language: en
Nationalism and Social Communication
There are outstanding studies of nationalism as a history of nationalistic ideas, as in the writings of Hans Kohn; there are competent descriptions of nationalism as a force in politics, as by the Study Group of the Royal Institute of International Affairs headed by Edward Hallett Carr; and there are important works organizing the many facts about nationalism in terms of some particular problem, such as Quincy Wright?s monumental Study of War.

Toward an Inventory of Basic Trends and Patterns in Comparative and International Politics
Recent decades have seen a vast increase of research in international relations, as in all fields of political and social science. We have more facts and many more expressions of opinion, and we are facing increasingly serious problems of reorientation. We know that much in the world of relations among nations has changed and is still changing, but what is the nature of this change? Is the world becoming more international? Is it turning into one…
