Tai-chun Kuo and Ramon H. Myers, Taiwan’s Economic Transformation
Culture and Foreign Policy
During the Cold War years, one could argue that the constraints of the bipolar rivalry dwarfed in large part the domestic idiosyncrasies of nations. Now, however, nations often define national interest in terms of particularistic domestic motivations and imperatives--a change that calls for systemic study of the effect of societal culture on foreign policy. This collection introduces the reader to the evolution of thinking about culturue and fore…

Motivational Orientation and the Nature of Consensual Decision Processes
Area specialists have observed that one way elite decision processes can vary is in the proportion of the decision-making group seen as necessary to support group action: decision-makers can aim for consensus, or they can aim for less inclusive support.

Cultural assumptions about the meaning of “self” and “others,” and about relations between human beings, are likely to vary from one society to another. These …
Fiction and Reality
Although the relationship between fiction and reality would seem to be of general concern to social scientists interested in the unobtrusive observation of social processes, systematic empirical evidence concerning this relationship is hard to come by. This study examines 1000 cases of interpersonal conflict resolution drawn from contemporary Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and American fiction and discusses, under the broad headings of reliability a…
Democracy vs. Efficiency
A parallel is drawn between certain styles of conflict resolution as described by social psychologists and the consensual and adversarial modes of small group decisionmaking as described by political scientists in order to point to a problem: Processes seen by social psychologists as yielding high task productivity and happy participants are thought by students of politics to produce tyranny and inequality; and processes seen by students of polit…
