Organized Coercion and Political Authority: Armed Conflict in a World of States
This chapter contains sections titled: Logics of Change in the Domain of War From State Making to War Making From War Making to State Making From War Making to New Ways of Making War Things Fall Apart? References
The Sociology of War and the Military
Recent work on war and the military has addressed two broad questions: Why do states and societies wage war as they do? And what difference does it make that war is, or has been, waged in that manner? Building on the Clausewitzian focus on relations among the state, the armed forces, and society, responses to these questions emphasize the need for the analyst to recognize that the state may not possess a monopoly of force, interstate and civil wa…
Internet and Society: A Summary of Research Reported at Webshop 2001

Are Post-Cold War Militaries Postmodern
Social scientists concerned with processes of change within military organizations have begun to appropriate the language of postmodernism in order to describe a number of transformations observed in military forces cross-nationally since the end of the Cold War. Although the thesis of the 'postmodern military' may have a novel appeal to scholars across a broad range of disciplines, this article argues that while substantial changes are indeed oc…
Mass Media Use and Social Life Among Internet Users
The mass media use and social life of heavy, light, and nonusers of the Internet and personal computers are compared based on a fall 1998 survey of 3,993 nationally representative respondents age 18 and older. As in previous surveys, no significant or consistent evidence of time displacement of such media or social activities was found. Indeed, Internet users showed signs of more active social lives than non-users. These results reinforce the con…
Citizenship and Compulsory Military Service: The Revolutionary Origins of Conscription in the United States
This article seeks to clarify the origins of citizen service in the United States. It departs from the premise that military service compelled by the state and performed as an obligation of citizenship may be understood as constitutive of citizen service. Based on this analytic distinction, the article develops one central argument. Citizen service was first realized in the United States during the American Revolution, but not, as might be expect…
The Personal Computer, Culture, and Other Uses of Free Time
This report compares the cultural participation and other free time activities of heavy users, light users, and nonusers of personal computers, based on a 1997 national survey of more than 6,000 respondents age 18 years or older conducted for the National Endowment for the Arts. No significant or consistent evidence of time displacement of such leisure activities was found. Indeed, heavier computer use was associated with significantly greater pa…
