Using the Web in the Classroom
Providing additional channels for intraclass communication, offering a much easier and convenient way in which to access information and materials traditionally available in academic libraries, and allowing students to engage in primary (not necessarily quantitative) research or active learning are the three major interrelated yet distinct ways in which to use the Web in the undergraduate classroom. The first two ways are relevant for any course …
Introduction to CSS ’98
The Survey Method
This article reviews the proliferation of the survey method beyond the Western democracies of North America and Europe with particular emphasis on cross-national survey projects and the study of public opinion on broadly defined political issues. Discussing rules formulated by Jowell and others, a set of principles for conducting cross-national surveys is offered. Based on a case study of extending political surveys to East Germany after the fall…

INTRODUCTION CLASS AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Bringing Classes Back into the Theory of Society Culture as the Missing Link Between Class and Collective Action PART ONE: MODERNIZING THE NOTION OF CLASS Contradictions and Social Evolution A Theory of the Role of Class in the Production of Modernity Beyond Class as a Historical Subject Towards a Theoretical Construction of Collective Actors PART TWO: RECONNECTING CULTURE AND CLASS Culture and Class Bourdi…
Germans and ‘others
Drawing on data from various sources, the article assesses the extent of xenophobia and the potential support base for right‐wing extremism in the united Germany. The data shows that West Germany displayed a considerable level of xenophobia before unification, and that at present, Germans in east and west display strikingly similar patterns of hostility towards foreigners. In comparison to their European neighbours, however, the Germans are not m…
The Emergence of Green Parties in Western Europe
The Road to German Unity
This article explores mass sentiment about the pursuit of unification in both East and West Germany from early 1989 to spring 1991, when formal unification was achieved and the first all-German government had been installed. Public opinion data from various sources show that the German masses were supportive but also somewhat reluctant with regard to quick and comprehensive unification. The strong push for unification by the political leadership …
Challenging the Political Order
Issues and voting in the European elections 1989
After a discussion of the role of ‘issues’ in models of voting behaviour, this article focuses on the degree of homogeneity of issue evaluations on the one hand and the match between issue evaluations and vote choice on the other. Three major conclusions emerge from cross‐national comparative analyses. First, and quite generally, a large segment of the national electorates does not perceive any particular party as best able to handle any of the p…

The utility of surveys for cross-national research
Maximizing utility at the polls? A replication of Himmelweit's ‘Consumer Model of Voting’ with German election data from 1983
A rational choice model of voting behaviour suggested by Himmelweit et al. is put to an empirical test in the context of the 1983 West German general election. Compared to the traditional measure of party identification, an indicator based on multi‐attribute utility theory (MAUT) considerations fails to be as dominant as in the original British data. However, specific context effects were at work in the German 1983 election. Also, the party ident…
The Analysis of Nonmetric Data
This article explores the statistical properties as well as the substantial interpretation of coefficients arrived at by usual regression procedures when the de pendent variable is a dichotomy. Some practical advice is offered on how this traditional technique can be used as a proxy to the more refined approach suggested by Grizzle, Starmer, and Koch
