Japan's Dual Civil Society: Members without Activities
Over the past two decades, sociologists and political scientists have discussed civil society, both as a key indicator of vibrant social relations and social institutions and as a prerequisite for an open-participatory form of democracy. Comparative researchers have characterized Japan's civil society as anemic, a label that Pekkanen seeks to correct in Japan's Dual Civil Society. Pekkanen begins by defining civil society in conventional terms, a…

Fear of the 'Alien Other: Cultural Anxiety and Opinions about Japan
American public opinion toward Japan grew more negative coincident with 1980s 'Japan-bashing' media messages. Two theories of opinion formation provide explanations for this. Democratic representation theory understands opinions as rational responses to new information. Cultural interpretation theory holds that public opinion is based on one's receptiveness to media discourse. Opinion is neither a rational response to information nor the passive …

The Dimensions of Rape Reform Legislation
Largely as a result of the feminist movement, most states have passed some form of rape reform legislation. Most rape law research has attempted to ascertain whether the reformed laws have achieved specific instrumental goals. In contrast, this paper emphasizes rape law reform as a symbolic indicator of women's contemporary social status. We believe there is a need for a greater appreciation of the diversity of rape law reform across the country …
Competing Perspectives on Cross-National Crime: An Evaluation of Theory and Evidence
Cross-national studies of crime are dominated by a Durkheimian-Modernization theoretical perspective. We evaluate this perspective and present two alternatives, the Marxian-World System and Ecological-Opportunity perspectives. Each is for its theory of social change, causal explanation of criminal behavior, conceptualization of law and crime rates, and view of the relation between collective political behavior and crime. The empirical evidence is…

Class Segments: Agrarian Property and Political Leadership in the Capitalist Class of Chile
This is an analysis of the relationship between large landownership and representative political activity as one expression of political hegemony in the capitalist of Chile in the mid-1960s. We conceptualize landed corporate executives and principal owners of capital and their non-landed counterparts in the largest corporations as distinct class segments; and we analyze their comparative officeholding in parliament and cabinet ministries and in t…
