INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPARATIVE SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH, APRIL 22-24, 1965 by Stein Rokkan and Gabriel A. Almond A ROUND TABLE conference on comparative social science research was held at UNESCO House, Paris, on April 22-24, 1965, under the auspices of the International Social Science Council. Joint sponsorship and support was provided by the Committee on Comparative Politics 1 of the Social Science Research Council. Planning and Alirection of the conference were in the hands of Stein ' W'Rokkan, Director of Research at the Chr. Michelsen Institute of Bergen, Norway, who served as rapporteurgeneral of the conference and K. Szczerba-Likiernik, Secretary General of the ISSC. The purpose of the conference was to evaluate the progress made within a program of studies and confrontations organized by UNESCO and the ISSC since 1961-62. This program must be understood against the background of earlier efforts to advance comparative research within the UNESCO framework. In earlier efforts to develop cross-national research UNESCO had tried to focus attention on a few substantive fields of interest within its over-all program: studies of the sources of tensions between nations and races, studies of stereotypes and prejudices, and studies of opinions on international issues. The principal product of these early efforts to promote comparative research was the Cantril-Buchanan sample survey made in nine countries in 1949 and reported in How Nations See Each Other.2 1 The members of the committee are Lucian W. Pye (chairman), Gabriel A. Almond, Leonard Binder, R. Taylor Cole, James S. Coleman, Herbert Hyman, Joseph LaPalombara, Sidney Verba, Robert E. Myron Weiner; staff, Bryce Wood. 2 William Buchanan and Hadley Cantril, How Nations See Each Other, Urbana: University of lllinois Press, 1958.

These early efforts did not generate a continuing program. Large-scale survey research was very costly and required a complex administrative apparatus; and the studies themselves came under criticism for their tendency to pursue abstract comparisons without consideration of the historical contexts and the relation of attitudes to other components of the social and political process. By the mid-fifties the UNESCO Department of Social Sciences had become heavily involved in the promotion of training and research in the developing countries, and found it increasingly difficult to pursue explicitly comparative studies. An attempt was made in 1956 to launch a program of comparative surveys but this proved to be very difficult, and in a sense the current program grew out of the recognition of failure in this earlier venture. It became more and more obvious that UNESCO could use its limited funds much more effectively if instead of organizing fresh comparative studies it concentrated its efforts on what might be called the "infrastructure" of comparative research, that is, if it undertook as a longterm task the establishment of better facilities for research workers interested in cross-cultural or crossnational anaylsis of one type or another. This meant at least in the beginning a concentration on methods, on sources of information, and on access to data for analysis. The International Social Science Council was given a central role in the development and execution of the new program. It decided to focus the first series of conferences under the program on quantitative methods of comparison. The round-table conference on

Riley, Jr., Richard Schlatter, Elbridge Sibley, Gordon B. Turner, and Frederick T. Wall. In addition to the Director, the Commission's staff includes Helen Astin and Alan Bayer, Research Associates. Several university faculty members are expected to participate in the Commission's work on a part-time basis.

• The author is Director of the Commission on Human Resources and Advanced Education, appointed by the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils.

defined generally as those persons with the ability to pursue advanced study, whether or not they continue beyond the bachelor's degree. The present Commission is a successor to the earlier Commission on Human Resources and Advanced Training, which produced America's Resources of Specialized Talent, by Dael WoHle, in 1954. This Commission has the same general objective of making a comprehensive study of the development of talent in American society. It will assess the large number of studies of talent development, manpower needs, and manpower utilization that have been completed since the work of the earlier Commission, and will also conduct some research and collect new data. Financial support for the work of the Commission has been provided by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Russell Sage Foundation. The National Academy of Sciences is providing administrative support for the project. The Commission's staff will develop a comprehensive review of current information and research findings about manpower supply, career planning, and manpower demands and needs. A second task will be a statistical description of the flow of talent from high school to college, and from college to graduate school and into jobs, with separate information provided for major academic and professional fields (medicine, social work, physical sciences, etc.). Efforts will also be made to describe the educational and occupational progress of important subgroups of the population, as determined by characteristics such as sex, color, urban-rural residence, and ability. This description of educational progress of important subgroups of the population will utilize the results of several national sample studies and the sources of basic statistical information of the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Office of Education, the Bureau of the Census, and others. Another study will develop information on the magnitude and direction of changes in career plans during the high school and college years, and changes from major field of education to field of employment among jobholders. The data will be examined in relation to

current theories of occupational choice, with major analysis of factors that are related to changes in career plans. This study should produce better understanding of the way career choices are made and why they are changed, and indicate how predictions of the occupational future of individuals can be improved. Another area of concentration in the Commission's work will be graduate departments and professional schools as the primary organizational units producing scientists, professionals, and scholars. A sample of departments and schools will be examined to determine how they plan for growth, how they establish standards for admission and retention of students, how they affect the careers of their graduates, and how the resources available to them affect their production of graduates. The Commission will also examine the market for talented manpower in several specific fields. Efforts will be made to conceptualize' and quantify important economic and noneconomic factors which affect the market and its operation, and to see how these factors could be projected into the future. The relation of manpower utilization to changes in demand for talented persons will be one important aspect of this study. Throughout its work the Commission will be concerned with the development and improvement of current statistics about manpower, and will make suggestions for ways of collecting and analyzing information which would improve our ability to study both shortand long-range manpower problems. The development of mathematical models of talent flows and of manpower market conditions will be emphasized as one promising approach to both better prediction of the future, and more comprehensive specification of improvements needed in current manpower statistics. There are several special problems of talent development and utilization which the Commission will explore if time is available. These include: the role of foreign students and foreign manpower, cultural deprivation and high-level talent, the education and careers of professional women, and the geographic distribution and redistribution of talent.

COMMITTEE BRIEFS AFRICAN STUDIES (Joint with American Council of Learned Societies)

Alan P. Merriam (chairman), L. Gray Cowan, Philip D. Curtin, William O. Jones, Horace Miner, Roy Sieber, Benjamin E. Thomas; staff, Rowland L. Mitchell, Jr. With the cooperation of Indiana University and the University of Nevada Desert Research Institute, the committee held a conference on the Traditional Artist in African So-

ciety at the University of California, Berkeley, Alumni Conference Center at Lake Tahoe, California on May 28-30. The plans for the conference had been made by Warren L. d'Azevedo of the University of Nevada, George Mills of Lake Forest College, and Messrs. Merriam and Sieber. The following papers-all except two written by anthropologists -had been circulated in advance: "A Sociocultural View of Hausa Musical Activity," by David W. Ames, San Francisco State College; "The Artist Archetype in Gola Culture,"

by Mr. d'Azevedo; "A Yoruba Master Carver: Duga of Meko," by William B. Bascom, University of California, Berkeley; "Aesthetic Value and Professionalism in African Art: Three Cases from the Katanga Chokwe," by Daniel J. Crowley, University of California, Davis; "The Exposition and Imposition of Order: Artistic Expression in Fang Culture," by J. W. Fernandez, Dartmouth College; "The Bala (Basongye) Musician," by Mr. Merriam; "The Role of the Carver in Anang Society," by John C. Messenger, Indiana University; "The Musician in Akan Society," by J. H. Kwabena Nketia, University of Ghana; "Yoruba Artistic Criticism," by Robert F. Thompson, Yale University; "Ingkyagu as Artists in Marghi Society," by James H. Vaughan, Jr., University of Cincinnati. Discussants were K. Peter Etzkorn of the University of Nevada, John Ladd of Brown University, and Messrs. Mills and Sieber. The papers are being revised for possible publication as a collection under the editorship of Mr. d'Azevedo. The committee regarded this conference as an important first step in directing attention to social science research on the arts, and hopes that the impetus generated by the conference to advance such research will not be lost.

sity. The volume will also contain an introductory chapter by Mr. Hess, a concluding chapter by Mrs. Rheingold, and introductions by Mr. Stevenson for each chapter. In addition to authors and the members of the committee, Francis H. Palmer, Institute for Child Development and Experimental Education, City University of New York, and Milton Trapold, University of Minnesota, attended the conference; and Robert Klein, University of Minnesota, assisted in the organization and conduct of the conference. CONTEMPORARY CHINA (Joint with American Council of Learned Societies) John M. H. Lindbeck (chairman), Alexander Eckstein, John K. Fairbank, Walter Galenson, Robert A. Scalapino, G. William Skinner, George E. Taylor, Mary C. Wright; staff. Bryce Wood. Support for expansion of the joint committee's program has been made available by the Ford Foundation in the amount of $1,000,000 for the next five years. Under the expanded program, grants will continue to be offered to individuals for research on contemporary China (the period since 1949) and, in addition, for research on the Chinese Revolution of 1911 and the Republican period (1911-49), on the Communist areas of North Korea, North Vietnam, and Outer Mongolia, and on relations between mainland China and contiguous areas since 1911. A new category of grants for cross-disciplinary study and research will be available to historians of China who are interested in work on the post-Imperial period. The new funds also provide further support for conferences under the committee's auspices, particularly in the fields of political science and Communist Chinese law. The committee with the Joint Committee on Slavic Studies held a conference on "Soviet and Chinese Communism: Similarities and Differences" at the Tahoe Alumni Center of the University of California, Berkeley, June 13-17. The purpose of the conference was to make a start at comparison of some aspects of the development of Communist ideologies, policies, and institutions in China and the Soviet Union, since such comparisons are difficult for a number of reasons-the relative lack. of available data about China; the small number of social scientists who have engaged in research on China, compared to those who have studied the Soviet Union for a longer period; and the relative inaccessibility of China. The sessions of the conference were devoted mainly to discussion of prepared papers on the following subjects: elements in pre-Communist thought and institutions relevant to the establishment of Communist rule; the Communist party: transformations after the assumption of power; law and its function; social structure and social change; freedom and control; strategies and tactics of economic development; Russia, China, and the world; theory, method, and summary. Predictions about Chinese developments on the basis of the Russian experience were regarded as hazardous by the 50 participants in the conference, who considered a number

The committee held its second conference on learned and . . nonlearned behavior in immature organisms at Stillwater, ~ Minnesota, June 13-17. The purpose of the conference was to provide opportunity for critical review and discussion of papers prepared for a volume tentatively entitled "Early Behavior: Comparative and Developmental Approaches," which is expected to be published in 1966. The subjects of the papers and their authors are: sexual imprinting in altricial birds, Erich Klinghammer, University of Chicago; development of learning in infra-primate mammals, Bryon A.

of factors to be unique in one or the other country. The conference was deemed particularly useful in indicating the present status of comparative studies of Communist societies. It is hoped that the proceedings, which are to be published by the University of Washington Press, may stimulate new and more rigorous research on some questions raised but not answered at the conference. Funds for the expenses of a conference on a reappraisal of the Chinese Revolution of 1911, organized by Mrs. Wright and scheduled to be held in Portsmouth, N.H. on August 22-27, 1965, were provided by the Joint Committee on Contemporary China. ECONOMY OF CHINA Simon Kuznets (chairman), Walter Galenson (director of research), Abram Bergson, Alexander Eckstein, TaChung Liu; staff, Paul Webbink. Three new studies have been undertaken under the auspices of the committee: M. Gardner Clark of Cornell University has begun research for a monograph dealing with aid to China by the Soviet Union and satellite countries. Edwin F. Jones is to spend the academic year 1965-66, on leave from the U.S. Department of State, in research on recent economic policy in China. Dwight H. Perkins of Harvard University has begun a comprehensive study of Chinese economic history. The limited supply of copies of "The Economy of Mainland China, 1949-1963: A Bibliography of Materials in English," compiled by Nai-Ruenn Chen, which had been made available to interested libraries and individuals upon request, was exhausted early in the summer. Additional copies have been produced, and may be requested from the office of the committee, 2500 Durant Avenue, Apartment 307, Berkeley, California 94704. The committee is continuing its search for qualified economists who may be interested in undertaking additional studies of the Chinese economy. Among the research areas which have been given a high priority in this respect are agriculture, the handicraft industries, and demography.

At the committee's conference in Frascati in December (see Items, December 1964, page 56) the participants elected an independent group to be concerned with forming an organization of social psychologists from different European countries so that they could have further opportunities to meet personally, to learn more about each other's work, and establish a basis for continuing communication and interchange of ideas. At the committee's request the Council provided funds for meetings of this independent group, which has set up a European Association for the Advancement of Experimental Social Psychology. The committee has cooperated with European groups in planning two summer training sessions for the purpose of training younger European social psychologists in research methodology. The first of these, the European Summer School on Social-psychological Problems in Organizations, was held in The Hague from July 15 to August 11, 1965, in collaboration with the European Foundation for Social Psychology and the Netherlands Universities Foundation for International Cooperation, and under the direction of Mr. Koekebakker. Members of the faculty included Morton Deutsch, Teachers College, Columbia University; Fred E. Emery, Tavistock Institute of Human Relations; Claude Faucheux, University of Paris; Claude Flament,

BEN WILLERMAN 1917-1965 It is with deep sorrow and a continuing sense of loss that the death of Ben Willerman on June 21, 1965 is recorded "ere. A member of the Council's staff since October 1, 1963, on leave from the University of Minnesota, he was most highly esteemed and beloved by his associates in the work of the Council as by those in other organizations with which he had been affiliated. His devotion to the interests of the Council and of his own field of social psychology was constantly revealed in the steadfast attention that he gave unsparingly to innumerable tasks. His sensitive understanding, sympathy, and thoughtfulness, and his keen

sense of humor were warmly appreciated by all who knew him. The Council committees with which Ben Willerman worked as staff were those on Comparative Developmental Behavior, Genetics and Behavior, Learning and the Educational Process, Simulation of Psychological and Social Processes, Socialization and Social Structure, and Transnational Social Psychology. His many intellectual and administrative contributions to the development and execution of their programs have received grateful recognition from their members and other participants in their concerns, and will have enduring influence.
