Global Agenda for Social Justice
The Global Agenda for Social Justice provides accessible insights into some of the world's most pressing social problems and proposes international public policy responses to those problems. Chapters examine topics such as criminal justice, media concerns, environmental problems, economic problems, and issues concerning sexualities and gender.
New Economy
The new economy refers to forces since the 1970s that are behind the way work is organized and carried out in major industrial economies. This entry focuses on the United States and the impact of three new social conditions. The first is slowed economic growth and increased foreign competition, which lead major corporations to travel the globe in search of markets and new workers to produce their goods and to deliver their services. The second is…
Deep Inequality
Forbes reports that the richest 1 percent of the world’s population owns nearly half the world’s wealth, and the gap between the richest and poorest of the world only continues to increase. Deep Inequality looks behind these stark statistics to understand not only wealth inequality but also rising disparities in other elements of life—from education to the media. The authors argue that inequality has become so pervasive that it is the new normal.…

The Good Society
This essay is an attempt to transcend the contentious political environment by offering a conceptual framework for discussing the outlines of a “good society” and its constituent elements. We offer an argument that is grounded in social theory that identifies a way to develop public policies to remedy long‐standing economic and social problems in American society. The development of public policies that can unify individuals and groups to provide…
Intellectual Closure
Scholars have recently called attention to the changing nature of the American university in the wake of the current economic downturn. Considering the transformative nature of knowledge production in the United States, we introduce the concept of intellectual closure in illustration of the unintended outcomes of individual decisions and career trajectories as they operate under the forces of social closure. Intellectual closure is defined as sub…
Age, Tenure, Resources for Control, and Organizational Commitment
Objectives. A higher level of organizational commitment for older and more experienced workers has primarily been explained via exchange theory or a cohort effect. We use an agency-structure framework to explain that higher levels of commitment result from feelings of control in the workplace. Methods. We examine this framework using data from a survey of 400 unionized factory workers in the Midwest. Results. The relationship between organization…
Civic Engagement Among Small-Group Participants
Small support groups are a relatively new form of voluntary association appearing in the American landscape. Examining the larger implications of the “small group movement” for civic life has led some to see an overall positive effect on wider community activities, while others have viewed small-group participants as self-absorbed and withdrawing from participation in civic activities. Using a national sample of small-group participants, we exami…

Organizations, Resources, and Class Analysis
This article presents selected features of a theoretical schema we term the distributional model of class analysis which views large organizations, organizationally-based resources, and distributional processes as central to the US class structure. We first review what we term production models of class analysis and illustrate how some features of these models may be linked to insights from studies of class involving large organizations and distr…
Social Class Sentiments in Formation
What explains social class sentiments among public university students? This empirical study uses a distributional model to define social class, which places students and their families with comparable resources over time into similar class locations. We survey a sample of students enrolled in four different schools at a large public midwestern university. The research finds that examining experiences with past, present, and anticipated or aspire…

Leaders and Ruling Elites
Power can be viewed as a property of interorganizational ties, which can be described in terms of resource networks. The creation of these resource networks, which are essential for power, are found in the interlocks of executives with multiple organizational positions. When resource networks are used as the unit of analysis, persons identified as influentials can be viewed as interchangeable, thereby reducing dependence on methodologies using co…
Whistle-Blowing
Whistle-blowing is examined as an act of collective opposition to authority taking place within a context of political conflict. Organizations, viewed as private governments, provide members with numerous opportunities for political action to seek greater autonomy, to dissent from organizational policies, to oppose organizational authority, to depose existing leaders, and to transform the political structures within which they work. An in-depth c…

Gender differences in the economic, psychological and social effects of plant closings in an expanding economy
The experiences of women and men workers displaced from jobs in 1989 by three plant closings in Indiana were examined. The focus was on three interrelated hypotheses concerning gender differences in the economic, psychological, and social effects of job loss. Questionnaires were sent to workers shortly after the closings and twelve months after the closings. Findings on economic effects indicated no gender difference in reemployment. When reemplo…

Embedded Corporatism
Change in the global economy leads to examination of auto transplants in six Midwest states, identifying the forces leading states to compete for transplants, and the politics of growth in communities that host transplants. The concept of embedded corporatism is used to analyze the actions of an activist state working with the local business class to have the ideology of corporatism and the transplant initiative embraced by the community

Interorganizational Relations and Community Influence Structure
This study examines the continuity of organizational and leader networks and community elite structure by replicating a study carried out 12 years earlier. Continuity of structure in the organizational bases of influence, in the leaders identified as influentials, and in the organizational and leader networks in the community is looked for. It is concluded that there is continuity in the bases and structure of influence and that the ability to ex…

A detailed comparison of intergenerational mobility into one elite occupation-engineering -in Britain and the U.S. reveals contrasting patterns and indicates some of the mechanisms, especially education, that tend to be ignored in broad national comparisons. Changes in recruitment into engineering during the past forty-five years indicate increasing rigidity in the U.S. and a pattern of increasing fluidity in Britain. In addition, high status ori…

Social Distance and Status Protection in a Psychiatric Hospital
Tms paper represents a first step in exploring a theory of intraorganizational stratification. In pursuing this objective we will take the rather pronounced status hierarchy in a psychiatric hospital as our point of departure. The main focus is upon the social distance patterns that exist between the occupants of formal positions in the hospital, and the manner in which the manipulation of social distance as reward and punishment and as a status …

Vulnerability to Knowledge Obsolescence Among Professionals
A CENTRAL element of modem professions is that they are organized around specialized bodies of knowledge over which they claim exclusive jurisdiction and control (Barber, 1963). Such specialized expertise is basic to the performance of the professional role, and the application of this specialized knowledge to client problems is the essence of professionalism for occupations such as medicine, dentistry, nursing, law, or engineering (Hughes, 1963;…

Migration and Income
This paper presents an analysis of the relative utility of three competing (but related) hypotheses regarding the factors which are thought to cause the higher incomes of migrants compared with nonmigrants. Data are derived from a larger study of engineers and a multiple regression technique is used to decompose the difference between the mean income scores of migrants and nonmigrants. Support is demonstrated for two of the hypotheses: (1) that m…
