Evolving Publics and the Practice of Public Sociology
How do the changing roles of diverse publics affect possibilities for the practice of public sociology? Having set this question in the context of Burawoy's 2004 launch of public sociology, this analysis goes on to look at some distinguished illustrative examples of public sociology, beginning with Du Bois. The goal is to explore how the evolution of surrounding 'archipelagos of publics' creates challenges and opportunities for public sociology. …

From Embedded Autonomy to Counter-Hegemonic Globalization
I got hooked on sociology as a 20-year-old. Engaging with the world as a sociologist, together with colleagues, comrades, and students, has been immensely rewarding for six decades. My work has centered primarily on what were once called developing countries and now comprise the Global South. This article recounts my sociological adventures, from efforts to understand the world as I found it in the early 1960s to my responses to current reactiona…
Introduction
Polanyi meets Bolsonaro
Twenty-first-century Brazil's political evolution is a window on the dynamics of contemporary political transitions. The inability of Brazil's Workers' Party to sustain its social democratic project and the subsequent rise of the reactionary regime of Jair Bolsonaro are, in turn, part of a global pattern of political change. Karl Polanyi's vision of the 'double movement,' in which the dominance of the market vies with the countervailing movement …
Neoliberalism
In the final three decades of the twentieth century, the world's political economic framework underwent a far-reaching transformation from a state-centric to a neoliberal form (Sewell 2005). In the years following World War II, economies in all areas of the world had been governed by state-centered regulatory regimes. In the wealthy countries of North America, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, economies were based on free markets…
Social Resilience in the Neo-Liberal Era
What is the impact of three decades of neoliberal narratives and policies on communities and individual lives? What are the sources of social resilience? This book offers a sweeping assessment of the effects of neoliberalism, the dominant feature of our times. It analyzes the ideology in unusually wide-ranging terms as a movement that not only opened markets but also introduced new logics into social life, integrating macro-level analyses of the …
Constitution by Committee? Legislative Competence Orders under the Government of Wales Act (2007-2011)
There are increasing calls for parliamentary select committees to take on additional tasks, becoming more involved in the legislative process with the aim of enhancing scrutiny of the executive. Analysis of the role of the Commons Welsh Affairs Select Committee in the process of devolving additional powers to the National Assembly for Wales under the Government of Wales Act (GoWA) 2006 highlights some of the challenges that select committees face…

Introduction
Embedded Autonomy
In recent years, debate on the state's economic role has too often devolved into diatribes against intervention. Peter Evans questions such simplistic views, offering a new vision of why state involvement works in some cases and produces disasters in others. To illustrate, he looks at how state agencies, local entrepreneurs, and transnational corporations shaped the emergence of computer industries in Brazil, India, and Korea during the seventies…

Double-Edged Diplomacy
Double-Edged Diplomacy
This original look at the dynamics of international relations untangles the vigorous interaction of domestic and international politics on subjects as diverse as nuclear disarmament, human rights, and trade. An eminent group of political scientists demonstrates how international bargaining that reflects domestic political agendas can be undone when it ignores the influence of domestic constituencies. The eleven studies in Double-Edged Diplomacy p…

Predatory, developmental, and other apparatuses
Disappointment over the contributions of Third World state apparatuses to industrial transformation and the increasing intellectual dominance of "neoutiliarian" paradigms in the social science has made if fashionable to castigate the Third World state as "predatory" and "rent seeking." This paper argues for a more differentiated view, one that connects differences in performance to differences in state structure. The "incoherent absolutist domina…

State, capital, and the transformation of dependence
Declining hegemony and assertive industrialization
Alternative explanations for the formation of U.S. foreign economic policy are explored using the acrimonious but inconclusive conflict between the United States and its largest South American ally over Brazil's restrictive policies toward the computer industry. After comparing a post-dependency/bargaining perspective, the theory of hegemonic stability, and Stephen Krasner's structural conflict model, the article argues that systemic perspectives…

National Autonomy and Economic Development
Whether or not less developed countries can better realize their economic aspirations by strengthening their ties with developed countries will remain in dispute as long as there are rich and poor countries. Dispute will be particularly sharp while the main instruments of such interconnection are identifiable institutions like the multinational corporation. It is easier to map the growth of the multinational corporation than to assess its consequ…

Continuities and Contradictions in the Evolution of Brazilian Dependence
Bags of coffee loaded onto the ships that docked in the port of Santos were Brazil's link to the international economy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. International trade of unparalleled dimensions was coupled with capitalist accumulation of equally unparalleled scale in the center countries of the system. Countries at the periphery of the system helped support the accumulation of capital in the center by producing primary pro…

Direct investment and industrial concentration
Cross‐national comparison of industrial concentration is considered here in terms of two hypotheses. The ‘technology/market size’ hypothesis [Merhav, 1969] predicts greater concentration in less developed countries than in the larger markets of developed countries. The ‘miniature replica’ hypothesis predicts that, when the degree of foreign ownership is high, industries in less developed countries may be less concentrated than their counterparts …

Predictability of shock and human choice behaviour
Subjects were asked to imagine anticipating shocks of varying probability and intensity, and to choose between two hypothetical activities: monitoring for an auditory warning stimulus, or listening to distracting music. In addition subjects were asked to rate how much anxiety they felt while imagining the scenes. Results of the simulation closely followed those reported in a real version of the experiment. Subjects offered control over the shock …
The State and Economic Transformation
Effective state intervention is now assumed to be an integral part of successful capitalist development. The classic interpretations of Polanyi and Gerschenkron have brought the state to the fore in the analysis of European industrialization, puncturing the myth of the original industrial revolution as a purely private process. In the Third World, where the capacity of the private entrepreneurial class to undertake industrialization was always vi…
On the Road toward a More Adequate Understanding of the State
An intellectual sea change is underway in comparative social science, so the introductory essay to this volume argued. A diverse set of scholars with wide-ranging substantive concerns has begun to place the state, viewed as an institution and social actor, at the center of attention. Yet the introduction also suggested that the important work of theoretical reorientation is only beginning to be done. To overcome deeply rooted assumptions about th…
