The response of the Lebanese labour force to economic dislocation
The experience of Lebanon over the last few years represents an interesting and instructive case study of how a flexible and mobile labour force can be a major factor in averting economic disaster. Since the middle of the 1970s the Lebanese economy has been exposed to severe shocks as a result of fighting within the country, particularly in and around Beirut, the hub of the country's economic activities. The dark days of 1975-76 have been followe…

Labor and the Government
This article compares the development of the workers' right to organize and bargain collectively in England, France, and the U.S. Starting with a common repressive policy, each country followed a different path toward establishing the workers' rights. The main ultimate difference lies in the extent to which the state became involved in industrial relations. In England the state remained aloof after securing very broad legal rights of collective a…
Administrative training and modernisation in Zaire
This paper analyses the rise and fall of the Ecole Nationale d’ Administration (ENDA) of Kinshasa from 1961 to 1971 in the context of the modernisation forces of a new country. Alongside the historical peculiarities of the setting, the ENDA experience illustrates strikingly many of the themes surrounding similar institutions in other developing countries [Schaffer, 1974]. These themes include the institution's search for an appropriate role and f…
Smith and the Merits of the Poor
Economists concerned with social welfare problems are not in the habit of looking to Adam Smith for guidance. Such problems all too often require the of the state in order to alter the results achieved the market, and Adam Smith is best known for his defense of free markets and his arguments against state in eco? nomic affairs. Thus, most of our colleagues would agree with the views expressed in an article one of the editors in the recent in? aug…

Welfare Policy and Economic Development
Over a century ago the American economist Henry C. Carey wrote that the masters of slaves “feel that they consult their own interests in feeding, clothing, and lodging them well, because wealth increases faster than population, and their labor becomes daily more valuable.” The change in the wealth/labor ratio which Carey noted is a fundamental aspect of economic growth. Carey saw its consequences in terms of the better care bestowed upon the slav…

The Expansion of the Labor Market in Capitalist Russia
Anyone interested in the historical anlysis of the emergence of a wage labor force in the early stages of industrialization will find much of interest in Rashin's study of the Russian case. The value of this study, an expansion and elaboration of a work published in 1940, lies in both over-all and sector estimates of the growth and composition of the work force, and in detailed data on specific aspects of the movement from the land to the factory
European Coal Mining Unions
The Trade Union in Soviet Social Insurance
As our knowledge of social institutions in the Soviet Union advances with the expansion of cultural and educational exchange between East and West, it is becoming evident that trade unions in that country play a much more significant role than was often attributed to them. One of the areas in which they have an important function is in the administration of social insurance benefits to active members of the labor force. In this capacity, as an in…

Autocracy and the Factory Order In Early Russian Industrialization
The Tsarist government played an important and fateful role in the development of the relationship between workers and employers in the early stages of Russian industrialization. Although the general character of this role is well known to historians, further study and reexamination of Tsarist labor policy, in the light of the contemporary concern with economic development, is invited by the Soviet publication in recent years of documentary evide…
The Management of Labor Protest in Tsarist Russia
An autocratic regime undergoing industrialization either develops effective techniques to “manage” inevitable labor protest or sows the seeds of its own destruction. Its highly concentrated authority is incompatible with the accumulation of power within the mass movements which industrialization engenders or stirs into action. It must destroy or control them. This problem faced Tsarist Russia as it later faced Soviet Russia. In neither case were …
The Legitimation of Protest
The effectiveness of a protest movement, such as trade unionism, depends on its ability to overcome the widespread disapproval and opposition it engenders. The worker's demands and their methods of enforcing them must somehow become egitimate in the eyes of the employers, the government, the public, and the workers themselves. The present article analyzes the British and German coal miners' struggles to overcome opposition to their endeavors to r…
International Differences in the Strike Propensity of Coal Miners
In almost every country where coal is mined, labor protest among the workers in this industry has been frequent and intense in comparison with industrial workers generally. Yet, as this article demonstrates, there are significantly wide differences between countries in the strike propensity of coal miners. These differences are set forth here for Germany, France, Great Britain, and the United States. and also the Saar Territory. The author then t…
