Spatial Economy and Integrative Labor in Turkey: An Ecological, Modernization, and World-System Investigation
General theories about urban primacy and world-system/dependency describe spatial economy in the ideal-typic developing nation as distorted and fragmented. In applying these notions to the experience of Turkey, we conclude that both urban primacy and foreign influence have been on the decline due to the emergence of a strong central government. This research views the spatial economy of Turkey as constrained by the ecological variables of (1) sys…

The Durkheimian Relationship between the Division of Labor and Population: Cross-National Historical Evidence
The broad objective of the research reported here is to investigate among nations the relationship between population size and the division of labor in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing upon the work of Durkheim and recent empirical studies, we argue that growth of cities, advanced levels of transportation and communication technology, and large population size should directly covary with the level of division of labor. A…
Measuring the Effect of System Size on the Administrative Occupations of Macro Systems: A Reappraisal
Organizational theory and empirical research suggests that the size of a system is an important determinant of its administrative sector. In this perspective, the key occupations that provide coordination and integration are as follows: (a) managers and administrators since they provide decision-making, (2) professional and technical experts because they evaluate information flows critical for decision-making, and (3) clerical workers since they …
Religion and Regional Culture: The Changing Pattern of Religious Affiliation in the Cajun Region of Southwest Louisiana
The hypothesis that large-scale economic development and population redistribution has led to the demise of regional culture is examined for the traditional Catholic Cajun community in southwest Louisiana. Using census type data, comparisons of religious affiliation patterns between the Cajun region, Louisiana, the South, and the nation demonstrate a small shift towards regional convergence over the 1950-80 period. An analysis of the twenty-two p…

A Non-proportional Model of Growth and Administrative Intensity of Nations: A Reanalysis
The nonproportional model of change as applied by Kasarda (1974) to explain the administrative intensity of societies is examined. In applying this theory to nations, we argue that the relationship between system size and administrative intensity should be much stronger in developed nations than in developing nations. Results from samples of both types of nations support this prediction. In addition, we consider Kasarda's operationalization of th…
