The Future of War
Building other Peoples’ States
This article discusses the development of social science and policy thinking about “nation-building” and state-building from the 1960s to the present. It examines in detail the recommendations of the recent Army field manual, FM 3–07 “Stability Operations”, demonstrating that the manual offers very little in the way of concrete guidance for policy-makers. This article argues that the shift from “modernization” theory to “globalization” theories d…
The Transformation of Europe’s Armed Forces
Understanding Terrorism
The New American Warriors
What will be the future of war? No-one can tell for sure, and so there is much speculation and many contending views. In this article I discuss one of those views, the notion that war of the future will primarily be a protracted form of terrorism, insurgency, and low-intensity conflict within 'failed' states and civilizations, which will sometimes lapse into ethnic cleansing and genocide. It will be 'dirty war'. The antagonists will be ragefilled…
Learning and Diffusing the Lessons of Counterinsurgency
The U.S. military entered the conflict in Iraq intellectually and organizationally unprepared for counterinsurgency, initially engaging in operations that were often counterproductive. The difficulties in learning and diffusing counterinsurgency strategy stems both from the complexity and poorly understood nature of counterinsurgency, and from the organizational identities of the U.S. armed forces, which lead them to focus on high-tech, mechanize…

Globalization, Unreason and the Dilemmas of American Military Strategy
This article traces the appropriation of globalization concepts by American military strategists. It argues that the world views developed by the American military are ethnocentric, and draw heavily from a repackaging of modernization theory. This article draws on the professional military literature - speeches and articles by top military officers, articles in professional military journals, and military and other government reports - to map the…

The Persistence of War as a Sociological Problem
This article provides a critical discussion of Joas's argument that modernization theory is unable to explain the persistence of war in the modern world. It argues that a number of factors make war likely in the modern world, including cognitive frameworks, organizational decision-making and cartelized political systems. The article concludes that the fact of the persistence of war in the modern world is not, in itself, a refutation of modernizat…

Latin America between the Second World War and the Cold War, 1944–1948
This volume aims to establish that the period between the end of the Second World War II and the beginning of the Cold War (1944–5 to 1947–8) hitherto neglected, represents an important conjuncture in the political and social history of twentieth-century Latin America. Despite differences in political regime, different levels of economic and social development, and different relations with the regional hegemony. There are striking similarities in…

This article addresses the question of whether an adequate theory for explaining the historical development of Latin American labour movements is currently available. The importance of the question derives from the fact that empirical studies of labour movements (however restricted in time and space) must necessarily refer (even if only implicitly) to some wider context in which the monographic study is situated. For most researchers, the primary…

Inflation and Social Pacts in Brazil and Mexico
The politics of inflation in Latin AmericaIn recent years inflation has accelerated in Latin America to become a seemingly intractable problem. In many countries, even when high inflation or hyperinflation has been brought down, the inflationary 'floor' has remained high, with all the appearance of a series of upward and irreversible steps. The underlying average annual rate of inflation has tended to rise steadily, as can be seen in the table ov…

For more than 40 years Mexico has experienced sustained and rapid economic growth. Until the recession of 1976-7, GNP grew at an annual rate of 6%.

The Mexican economy began to experience serious problems in the second half of the 1970s and, by 1982, despite (or because of) an attempt to use oil exports to promote r…

Replicating the Transition
Social science displayed little interest in the societies which now form the Third World until the period after the Second World War. There had, of course, been a great deal in the way of anthropological investigation of parts of some of these societies, but the social structures which were to emerge as the new nations in the 1950s and 1960s had generally not been studied as social wholes. (Some, very limited, exceptions must be made for Latin Am…

Modernization and the Working Class
Worker Consciousness and Union Orientation
A central question for industrial sociology has been to study the determinants of working class consciousness. Relationships have been hypothesized between types of worker consciousness and socio-economic variables (Di Tella, 1965; Moore and Feldman, 1960; Faletto, 1966; Handelman, 1978); and between worker consciousness and labour process and organizational structure (Braverman, 1975;Touraine, 1965; Kerr and Siegel, 1971;Chinoy, 1965;Goldthorpe,…
