New and Old Perspectives on Government
There Was Something Odd About The Order in which S. E. Finer published on so many unrelated subjects. This must have had something to do with the gifts of penetration, precision, concision and clarity manifested in his way of writing, as well as, from a different point of view, with his innate talents as a conversationalist, let alone a teacher. (Be it recalled in passing that he was the most brilliant English-speaking teacher of politics in his …

Peace, Commerce and Democracy
The Coincidence In Time of The Commemoration of the First World War and the end of the negotiations of the Uruguay round of the GATT Treaty has not only a clear symbolic but also a chastening meaning. Above all, even above its economic significance, it has a political meaning already familiar to the readers of this journal, but which now can and must be fully explained as we look at the 550 pages of text signed by the 117 members of the new World…
Turbulence in British Politics: The First Two Years of the Major Government
The expression post-globalization was chosen here because it is more comprehensive than the now much more popular ‘post-cold war’. While the latter has the advantage of offering a chronological turning point (the formalities of the end of the 1980s), in reality it is only the ideologico-military effect of a series of simultaneous changes in the world brought about in the last decade by the still ongoing and unpredictable information revolution. T…
The Impact of the Information Revolution on Parliamentary Sovereignties
This Rather Cumbersome Title Might Be Easier to understand if it was first explained in which sense the two concepts which it contains are taken here. Thus ‘information revolution’ is taken to mean not only the scientific and technological revolution, which has culminated in the microelectronic revolution, but also the two major geopolitical consequences of the information revolution: ‘interdependence’ and ‘globalization’. The question posed here…
Her Majesty the Queen
Queen Elizabeth II Has Now Entered The Forty-First year of her reign. This is an exceptional achievement in a historical period marked by speed and turbulence. Indeed, in the exercise she has also become the personality with the longest record of continuity of service and experience in high politics, not only in this country but in the whole world. This is an obvious advantage for the new generation of British political leaders who will seek her …

The Deeper Meanings of Mr Major's Victory
THESE NOTES TRY TO ASSESS THE DEEPER CAUSES OF Mr Major's electoral victory in the light of the Silent Revolution which is rapidly changing statecraft now all over the world. It is a lucky coincidence that the coming to power of Mr Major's own government takes place at the same time as the beginning of a new era in the organization of human affairs — the ‘no-more-world-wars’ era and its pragmatic spirit. Thus the readjustments and the innovations…

Reading, Listening and Viewing Notes, Autumn 1991
Having, like most citizens of the developed society read, heardand seen as much as I could of the stirring events unfolding in the Eurasian empire, I cannot, even now (8 September 1991) saymore than what I have thought since the crisis began. This is that,on the one hand, the collapse of Marxism-Leninism and of its political emobodiments had, if I may make a pun, and moreoverin French, been déjà prévu. Marxism-Leninism is dead and buriedeverywher…

The Relevance of Switzerland for Modern Politics
THIS IS A SPECIAL ISSUE OF OUR JOURNAL AND IT IS THE outcome of a conference held at the Centre Européen de la Culture in Geneva. The Centre was founded in 1947 by Denis de Rougemont, the great Swiss writer, philosopher and European federalist, and directed by him until his death in 1985. Now it has been revived under the presidency of Professor Jacques Freymond, the best-known Swiss political scientist in the world of academia, and himself the a…
The Politics of Employment Policy in Germany and Great Britain
NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT POLICIES IN GENERAL HAVE BEEN ESPECIALLY intensively studied from a comparative point of view in the last decade during which unemployment has again become an object of universal concern. But, at least to our knowledge, these studies have been focused more on the economic and social asects of the problems of employment/unemployment, and less on the political aspects, or what we call the politics of employment policies, i.e. ho…
Saint‐Simon and the Politics of Industrial Societies
MOST STUDENTS OF SAINT-SIMON HAVE BEEN ESPECIALLY CONCERNED with his relations with the different 19th-century ideological movements; hence few have approached his work from the point of view of the incompatibility between his attitudes and those of the Jacobins. Yet such an approach re-situates his intellectual biography in its proper context – and indeed protects his work from the anachronistic interpretations which have plagued it in the histo…

Political Undercomprehension or The Overload of Political Cognition
THE THEME I PROPOSE TO TREAT HERE RUNS LIKE A PARALLEL tributary to the mainstream of Giovanni Sartori's theme: ‘We are living above and beyond our intelligence’. But while Sartori concentrates his attention on the pros and cons of ‘political engineering’ in the modern society, its feasibility and cost benefits, I concentrate on the question which can be summarily formulated as follows: ‘can modern political judgment itself, i.e. before it sets p…

A British Lead to a Federal Europe
THE ARGUMENT WE ARE ABOUT TO PRESENT UNDER THIS perhaps surprising title is based on a syllogism whose two premises are now visible to all in their sad reality. The first premise is that because of their political organization in small and medium-sized sovereign states, the countries of Western Europe are losing the chance of adapting themselves independently to the requirements of the third industrial revolution. In this they are falling far beh…

Speaking Notes With the Bishop of London on how and why the Church might be losing its nerve and its role in the modern society
THE FUTURE OF MODERN DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY APPEARS TO depend on the amount of political participation, i.e. on how much its individuals will have to participate in political interests and activities. To be sure, the way industrial society functions requires an increasing involvement of the individual in public activities. But is there a danger that the private lives and aspirations of all individuals will be increasingly absorbed by the ‘public caus…
What is Political Thought Thinking of Now? ‐ Reading Notes 1964–1980
AS I LOOKED AT MY READING NOTES IN ORDER TO RETRACE the evolution of my thought on politics in general, and political thought in particular, over the last two decades or so, I found that my present concern with the reality of modern political thought could be progressively detected in those notes as from 1964. The rest and the bulk of the notes converge in three main themes: my first books on comparative communist politics, my interest in the dev…

The Austrian State Treaty and Neutrality in Eastern Europe
International chroniclers differ in their appreciation of the significance of the Austrian State Treaty of May 15, 1955, in the history of EastWest relations. Some see it as an oasis in the desert of sterile argument which preceded and followed it. This point of view finds confirmation in the fact that the eastern part of Austria and the Finnish peninsula of Porkala were and remain the only territories in Europe which, at one time occupied by Sov…
Politics in a New Key
THE PROPHETS OF DEPOLITIZATION ARE CONFOUNDED. IN THE last year or so, politics have come back with a vengeance. Indeed, what is characteristic in this new political activity is that, anticapitalistic though it may be, its immediate motives did not spring from urgent economic problems. In France, for instance, trouble erupted out of a blue economic sky.For those who, convinced that the political conflict is perennial and ubiquitous, regarded the …
Social Structure: Rumania Under Communism
Refusal to allow the workers to take a direct part in industrial management or leadership and the emergence of the intelligentsia as a privi leged layer, as in the Soviet Union, were confirmed in the first ten years of existence of the Rumanian Popular Republic. The strengthening of the social category of the medium farmers, owning their own farms of between 5 and 20 hectares, is one of the most revealing phenomena of social stratification in tha…

Communism in Rumania 1944-1962
Communist Rumania and Nonalignment (April 1964-March 1965)
In June 1964, when Mr. Patrick Gordon Walker, at that time "shadow" minister on the opposition benches, returned to Britain from a short visit to Rumania, he denned the new policies of the Rumanian Workers Party as "national communism." This definition is generally accepted. The term, coined some seventeen years ago on the occasion of Titoist Yugoslavia's defiance of Stalinist Russia and serving ever since to describe the policies of any small Co…
