The Rural Sociology of the Advanced Societies: Critical Perspectives
Community Studies, Community Power and Community Conflict: An Introduction to the Sociology of the Local Community
This chapter explores the interrelation of community studies, community power, and community conflict. It begins by examining the classic community studies tradition, focusing on the significance of location and the interplay of integration and conflict within communities. The chapter then delves into the debate surrounding community power, contrasting elitist and pluralist perspectives. It analyzes how power dynamics shape local decision-making …
Community Studies: An Introduction to the Sociology of the Local Community
Originally published in 1971, this was the first text on community studies which analysed the major empirical work in this field in a comparative perspective. It is concerned both with the sociology of community and the sociology of community studies. It takes both the findings of individual studies and the research process itself as significant sociological data in their own right, and it asks continually: how do we know what we know about commu…

Social Class in Modern Britain
The book incorporates three alternative conceptions of class. Erik Olin Wright's structural Marxist account is set alongside John Goldthorpe's occupational class schema, and the Registrar-General's prestige and skill-related categories. The authors use their unique data on inequality and conflict in contemporary Britain to provide, for the first time, a rigourous comparison of Marxist, sociological and official class frameworks. The book ranges w…

Goodbye to Supervisors
Liberal theories of post-industrial society and Marxist theories of the labour process tend to converge in their respective accounts of the place of supervisors in relation to putative changes in the organisation of work. A common conjecture is that supervisors are progressively being denuded of their powers and functions within industry. This paper uses data from a national sample survey of Britain to discuss the substance of the supervisory rol…
Distributional Struggle and Moral Order in a Market Society
This paper challenges the widely held view that novel and fundamental changes in the structure of social hierarchy have altered the basis of distributional conflict in modern Britain. Reference to nineteenth-century developments shows that sectionalism, egoism and privatism are not peculiar to the present economic recession. It is then argued that commentators on the left and right alike have oversimplified the relationship between the distributi…

Economic Restructuring: The British Experience
This article deals with certain aspects of British economic decline. After a short historical review of British economic performance, the phenomenon of deindustrialization is examined. Two major economic theories of deindustrialization are discussed alongside empirical evidence of the recent, rapid decline in Britain's manufacturing base and its worsening trade performance in goods and services. The effects of multinational corporations are also …

The Deferential Dialectic
For more than a decade, the most decisive influence on the empirical study of the British class structure has been the three consecutive electoral victories of the Conservative Party during the 1950s. The widespread belief that these events reflected some underlying change in the stratification of British society stimulated a new examination of the political attitudes and behaviour of the working class. In sociology this led to the exploration of…

The Sociology of Agriculture: Toward a New Rural Sociology
Rural sociology has recently developed a new research agenda focussing on the sociology of agriculture. This has led to a revitalization of a field of research that had lost its way since the decline of the rural-urban continuum in the 1960s. The crisis that occurred in rural sociology in the 1970s is discussed in relation both to this theoretical vacuum and to the failure to achieve a policy impact. It is argued that the sociology of agriculture…

Urbanization and the Rural Class Structure: Reflections on a Case Study
Since 1970 I have been involved in investigating social change in rural England, first through a study of farm workers (Newby,1 g 77), then later by way of research into the changing situation of farmers and landowners (Newby et al., 1978). In this paper I want to reflect upon some of the results of this research, thereby allowing myself to draw together a number of issues which have hitherto been considered separately. The thematic focus of this…

The Current Status of Rural Sociology
In the firm belief that rural sociology is currently in a state of malaise, this paper attempts to diagnose the sickness. Some of the main aspects of what is called 'conventional rural sociology' are outlined and their limitations discussed. It is argued strongly that rural sociology must become more theoretically-oriented in the problems it sets itself and that more attention be given to conceptual and theoretical issues. It is hoped that the pa…

CAPITALIST FARMERS IN THE BRITISH CLASS STRUCTUREThis paper presents, in a modified Weberian framework, an approach to the study of capitalist farmers in the British class structure. Their market situation is principally analysed in terms of the outcome of pressure group activity vis-a-vis the state. A typology is derived for their work situation based upon the degree of market-orientation and the degree of direct involvement in husbandry. This t…
