Dynamics Of Culture
This book, first published in 1987, is a landmark contribution to macrosociology that extends the tradition of Sorokin, Durkheim, Marx, Weber and other founders of the discipline in new and exciting directions. Using their innovative content analysis methodology to examine American and British political documents, the authors show that the long-term dynamics of culture are subject to their own laws and are independent of the actions of 'great men…

Cycles of the fourth kind
Mohler (1987) claims that German culture does not display thematic cycles like those found by Namenwirth and Weber (1987) in America and Great Britain. We argue that Mohler's claim is not supported by the emperical evidence he presents. We also find his claim to be flawed conceptually and theoretically
Cycles of the third kind
This paper delineates three kinds or senses of the cycle concept as used in social science theory and research. Cycles of the weak or first kind merely refer to fluctuations or state changes. Cycles of the moderate or second kind refer to fluctuations with some constant periodicity in fact or in principle. Cycles of the strong or third kind have several analytical properties that require explanation. I argue that the term cycle should be reserved…
Notes on the empirical analysis of cyclical processes
This short note discusses a few general data‐related problems which occur in analyses of cyclical processes, and offers a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches and techniques that can be employed. The conclusion is that one should be flexible in approach; it is always possible to model data in more than one way. A prudent strategy will always include the specification and testing of various models

The long‐Term Dynamics of Societal Problem‐Solving
Content analysis of British political documents. 1689–1972. indicates cycles of political issues that differ from the 1689–1795 (Mercantilist) period to the 1795–1972 (Capitalist) period. Within each period there is a long cycle of changing issues whose interpretation is a variation of the Bales‐Parsons A‐G‐I‐L scheme; however, cycle length and issue sequence were found to differ between periods. These issue cycles are explained in terms of the B…

Organizations Have Opinions
Random telephone interviews of organizations reveal that, contrary to popular belief, organizations do have opinions and that such opinions can be obtained by use of traditional survey methods. In addition, when compared with a sample of individuals, the opinions of organizations differ from those of individuals on some questions and not on others. It is suggested, therefore, that the omission of organizations from public opinion research may res…
Society and Economy in the Western World System
A computer-based content analysis of British Speeches From the Throne, 1795–1972, is reported which indicates a 52-year cycle of changing thematic concerns or issues. This thematic cycle replicates earlier results from an analysis of party platforms in American presidential elections. The thematic cycle is correlated with the Kondratieff economic cycle, the latter reflecting recurring crises in capitalist societies. The 52-year thematic cycle ref…
