Contemporary Research on the Urban Underclass A selected review of the research that underlies a new Council program

by Martha A. Gephart and Robert W. Pear on*

THE NATURE OF POVERTY in the United State i changing. It is found Ie among the elderly and people living in nonurban areas and more among children living with one parent-in hou ehold headed principally by young women. Poverty has also become increasingly concentrated in urban America, in neighborhoods where a mall core of the di advantaged face the pro pect of remaining impoverished, unable to participate meaningfully in the broader ocial and economic life of the country. The urban communities in which many of the di advantaged live-America's urban ghettos-differ from tho e of the late 1950s and early 1960 . The ghettos today appear to be more mean-spirited, more i olated, and more damaging to their poor re idents than tho e that aro e in major urban areas after World War II. The e communitie are increa ingly deficient in the ocial in titutions that control and mediate ocial, political, and economic relations and that provide resource and avenues for individual advancement. The inhabitants of the e ghettos are

increa ingly being labelled "America' undercla ."

The urban underclass Although a portrait of the urban undercla i not yet complete, one of it mo t salient dimen ion i spatial; the location of poverty in the United State ha hifted dramaticall during the la t 25 year .

Poverty-although till pronounced in America' rural area -is an increa ingly urban phenomenon.

And within urban areas, poverty i increa ingly concentrated in area in which ub tantial proportions of the population are al 0 poor. In 1959, for example, approximately 27 per cent of all poor people in the United State lived in central citie . By 1985, thi had climbed to about 43 per cent.' And within central citie , the proportion of the poor living in poor urban cen u tracts increa ed from 17 per cent to 24 per cent in the ten year between 1975 and 1985. The re ult for the changing spatial di tribution of poverty among blacks were more dramatic: in 1959, 38 per cent of poor black lived in central citie . By 19 5, thi figure had ri en to 61 per cent (U.S. Bureau of the Census 19 2; 1985).2

Particular pockets of urban decay are especiallypronounced. Consider, for example, North Lawndale, a black community on Chicago'S We t Side (Wacquant and Wil on 19 8). Nearly half of the hou ing tock of North Lawndale has disappeared ince 1960, and that which remain i rundown and dilapidated. In 1985, the murder rate in the community wa twice that of the city and six time that of the nation. Five per cent of the community' youth were referred to court in the year 1980 alone.

While infant mortality declined nationwide and in Chicago during the la t 25 year, it increased in Lawndale to 28 death per 1,000 live birth at its peak in 1985. During that year, 70 per cent of all babie born in the community were born out of wedlock, half of the e to mother who were 21 or younger. And the percentage of tho e receiving

welfare a i tance ro e between 1970 and 1980 from one third to one half of the community'S population.

Wacquant and Wil on (1988) graphically portray the dramatic economic change that underlie the e problems: Thi taggering explo ion of ocial problem i clo ely related to a tring of plant and tore hutdown that have gradually turned orth Lawndale from a lively indu trial and commercial hub into one of the mo t de titute ghetto communities of the city.. . . Because North Lawndale has, like many inner city neighborhood acro the country, depended heavily on mokestack indu trie for low- killed jobs and teady income, it has houldered more than its hare of the costs of . . . deindu trialization. In its good day, the economy of thi We t Side community was anchored by two huge factorie, the famou Hawthorne plant of We tern Electric with over 43,000 jobs and a Harve ter plant employing orne 14,000 workers; the world headquarters of Sears, Roebuck and Company was also located in its mid t, bringing another 10,000 jobs. . . . There were, among others, a Zenith and a Sunbeam factory, a Copenhagen nuff plant, an Alden' catalogue tore, a Dell Farm food market and a post office bulk tation. But things changed quickly: Harve ter clo ed its gates at the end of the 60 and i now a vacant lot. Zenith, unbeam and Alden, too, hut down their facilitie . Sears moved mo t of its offices to the downtown Loop in 1973, leaving behind only its catalogue di tribution center, with a workforce of 3,000, until last year when it wa relocated out of the tate of Illinoi .

The Hawthorne factory gradually phased out its operation and finally closed down in 1984. A the big plants went, so did the maller tore, the banks, and countle other bu ine dependent on the wage paid by large employers for their sale . To make matters worse, ore of tore were forced out of bu ine or pu hed out of the neighborhood by in urance companie in the wake of the 1968 riots that wept through Chicago' We t Side after the a sa ination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ten of others were burned or imply abandoned. It has been e timated that the community 10 t 75 per cent of its bu ine e tabli hments from 1960 to 1970 alone. Presently North Lawndale ha one bank and one upermarket versu 48 tate lottery agents, 50 currency exchange and 99 licensed bars and liquor tore for a population of over 60,000 (page 24-25).

The e change are not unique to Chicago. They have taken place within the context of larger change in global, national, and regional political economie that have affected many urban areas. For example, entry-level manufacturing job in the country's older industrial cities-the jobs most likely to have been held by black and Hi panic men in earlier decade have become more carce in the 1980 (Ka arda Hi pani group, however, and information concerning change in the di tribution in poverty based on 1970 and 19 0 decennial 1985, page 38), and earnings of black and Hispanic Cen u data are troubled b change in the way in which men have declined in tandem. In 1974, blue-collar re ponden ' ethnicity was recorded. ttlement pattern of craft, operative, and foreman jobs accounted for Hi pani and A ian in We tern citie in the United tate al nearly half of the job held by employed black men in appear to differ from pattern elsewhere; in the We t, the group have been more likely to ettle in uburban rings the United States, age 20 to 24. By 1984, such job accounted for only one-fourth of the e job (ibid., (Kasarda 19 ).

The corre ponding decline in Hi panic male capable of minimally upporting a mall family wa 61 to 35 per cent; for non-Hi panic white male, 60 to 46 per cent.

Manufacturing firm that have remained in the e "fro tbelt" citie have often moved to cheaper, larger pace in uburban ring where they are more acce ible to regional and national markets. In everal of the e citie , retail and ervice ector have grown dramatically during the arne period that manufacturing firm have clo ed or moved. However, many of the new job - uch a . tho e in the information proce ing ector-require higher level of education and kill, while job uitable for un killed labor typically offer low wage and part time or temporary contracts. Taken together, the e hifts may have profoundly altered the ability of many citie to provide employment opportunitie for their mo t di advantaged and lea t educated and killed re ident . The gap between the mean annual income of a high chool dropout and a high chool graduate for 1 - to 24-year-old male wa 31 per cent in the early 1960 . By the early 19 0 , it had ri en to 59 per cent (Berlin and Sum 1988, page 9).

Migration flows have imultaneou ly changed the racial and ethnic composition of metropolitan central citie, uburb, and non metropolitan areas of each region. The minority populatipn of central citie in the orthea t grew from 33 per cent to 42 per cent between 1975 and 1985; central city minority populations in Midwe tern cities grew from 28 per cent to 36 per cent.

The ize and characteristics of an urban undercla are not defined by indu trial re tructuring and migration flows, or by their effects on employment and earning . Indeed, problem of definition and conceptualization are an important concern that will undoubtedly continue to confront cholar becau e there are unlikely to be ea ily agreed-upon definition of the undercla available to tho e who eek to under tand it (Cook and Curtin 1987).

Council Initiates New Program on the Urban Underclass

The Council ha e tabli hed a new, interdi ciplinary program to develop an improved undertanding of America' urban undercla and to recruit and nurture a pool of talented and well-trained cholar who will carry out reearch. With upport from the Rockefeller and Ru ell Sage foundation , the program will eek to encourage re earch on the tructure and proce e which generate, maintain, and overcome per i tent and concentrated urban poverty. The program will include a committee of cholar, everal working group, a policy advi ory group, and funding for undergraduate re earch a i tantship ,di ertation fellow hip , and po tdoctoral re earch grants. A preliminary intellectual agenda of the program i outlined in the accompanying article. After a committee ha been appointed by the Council' Committee on Problem and Policy (P&P), a ub equent article in Items will de cribe the program in greater detail.

Much of the re earch, for example, imply define and operationalize "concentration" in a zip code district or Cen u tract a a relativel high proportion of poor re idents (e.g., 40 per cent or above).

Anal t have recently provided e timate of the ize of the urban undercJa u ing a variety of definition of thi population (i.e., geographical ncentration, per i tence over time, un- or underemplo ment, member hip in a minority group, ocial "pathqlogie ," low kill and education, urban re idence, and poverty). everal conclu ion emerge from the e e timate . (1) The undercla -regardle of definition-i a relatively mall part of the nation' population. E timate range from lightly Ie than one per cent of the population in the early 19 0 (approximately two million people) to nearly four p r cent (approximately eight million people). The e figure repre ent no more than about one-fifth of the country' low income population. (2) The e relatively mall population, however, include many of tho e who at any point in time are in the mid t of a long pell of poverty, and require a large amount of ial welfare re ource over extended period of time. (3) The ize of the undercla grew dramatically in the 1970 . The number of people living in area haracterized by high rate of high chool dropouts, male nonemployment, welfare receipt, and femaleheaded hou ehold -to u e one behaviorally-ba ed comp ite definition of the undercla -increa ed more than three-fold between 1970 and 19 0; the number of people living in area of concentrated en u tracts in which 40 per poverty (defined a cent or more of the re idents lived in familie who earned Ie than the official poverty thre hold) grew 60 per cent, which wa double the total population increa e during thi period (Ricketts and Mincy 19 7; Rei chauer 19 7; Ricketts and awhill 19 ).

Thi growth wa particularl acute in America' older indu trial citie . The proportion of the poor population of New York City living in extreme poverty area grew by 269 per cent; in Chicago and Detroit b 162 per cent; in Indianapoli by 150 per cent; and in Philadelphia by 12 per cent (Wacquant and Wil on 19 ,page 6). While the total number of familie in the 10 large t citie of the United State declined b four per cent during thi period, the number of tho e on public a i tance grew by 62 per cent from .4 per cent of all familie in 1970 to 15 per cent in 19 0, almo t entirely b cau e of increa e among black (64 per cent) and Hi panic (79 per cent) (ibid., page 9).

The e number in part provide ground for con iderable con en u concerning the cope of problem 4

Unfortunately, a con en u concerning the cau e and dynamic of p r i tent and concentrated urban poverty doe not exi t, nor i it clear what policie will be t ameliorate man of the e problem . Many of the hypothe e that have been po ed to explain the cau e and dynamic of concentrated and per i tent urban poverty require analy e which cro level and di cipline, and employ multiple methodologie.

Moreover, man current polic recommendation for ameliorating inner city poverty are ba ed on a umption about relation hip acro the e level, and not enough i known about a number of ke relation hip to a e their polic implication.

A brief and illustrative di cus ion of existing re earch that i relevant to an under tanding of the per i tence and concentration of urban poverty will highlight orne of the unre olved que tion upon which the Council's program will focu . For convenience, the di cu ion i organized according to the everallevels of analy is into which re earch has been divided.

Changing global and national political economies. In the 1970, rna production technologie in the advanced capitali t countrie increa ingly gave way to the ri e of a more " ervice" or information-ba ed economy, which called for a more highly educated work force. Thi proce s was accompanied by patial change , including the uburbanization of hou ing, interregional movements of labor, and the internationalization of production, as well a by demographic change including, in the United State, the shifting re idential location of race and ethnic groups. The direct, aggregate effects of change in global and national economie on the compo ition of urban employment are only now beginning to be known-and they remain the subject of controver y.

Some argue that growth (and decline) in the employment and output of traditional production industrie ha tended to occur in industrie that are characterized by flexible production methods that distribute the production proce to a network of firm ,each of which pecialize in a particular cla of intermediate output . Large firm u e thi form of di tributed production to pa s along the ri ks and uncertainties of increasingly international markets to the e smaller local e tabli hments where open employment contracts permit the frequent hiring and firing of relatively less-skilled and low-paid labor. Con picuously ab ent from the employment growth pattern of the more recent period in some cities in the United States is the semi-skilled or skilled production job in the large, vertically-integrated firm, which characterized employment growth in the late 1950 and early 1960s, as well as in earlier period , and which provided entry-level jobs for urban immigrants who e skill and formal education were adequate for the e production proce es.

According to thi argument, changes in the 4 The Council convened a planning meeting on October 8-10,

sorts of job they apply for, what ort of job they are willing to accept, what el e they do with their time, how they 10 t their la t job, how hard they try to keep any job they get, and 0 forth. Conver ely, qualitative de criptions of unemployment or chronic poverty are more meaningful if we know omething about the frequency with which we are likely to encounter the phenomena they de cribe. How many people live like the one de cribed in a particular tudy? How alike or different are the chronically unemployed in one community from tho e in another?

Other traditions in the ocial cience focus on tructural variables-local labor market characteristics; industrial tructure; and the age, ize, organizational tructure, and characteri tics of local communities. We know omething about the demographic, economic, and political correlate of poor communities and neighborhoods, although Cen u - and urvey-ba ed data have rarely been ystematically linked to data on the economic structure of indu tries and labor markets, or to the politics of local, tate, and federal governments. The challenge of understanding concentrated and per istent urban poverty i to link the e different levels and units of analy is in ways that ca t light on the proce e that connect the fate of both familie and communitie .

What i al 0 needed i a move from correlational to cau al analysis, which requires more refined theoretical tatements about links acro s levels, and the creative u e of quantitative and qualitative longitudinal data to examine the e link . A program that addresse the e i sue will face the challenge of integrating survey-ba ed re earch, ethnographic methods, and prospective longitudinal re earch de ign and the challenges of linking macro- with microre earch per pective .

Scholars with whom the Council has consulted have outlined the nature of exi ting re earch on concentrated and per i tent urban poverty, and have uggested important unre olved questions that could define the topical foci of re earch and re earch planning activities that will ari e from the program. 4

compo ition of economic activity and in the organization and geographical di tribution of production have both led to change in labor demand in pecific place -in particular, to increa es in orne areas in both the relative and the ab olute demand for un killed labor, to reduction in the demand for emi- killed labor, and to increa e in part-time chedule and temporary contract, often referred to a "contingent" work. The i ue of how ectoral and/or regional hifts affect local and national unemployment are being debated, although their effects on the poor have received Ie attention (for an exception, ee Ka arda 19 5). The economic i ue here involve the speed and quality of labor upply adju tments to variou labor demand hifts (through retraining, migration, etc.). How do worker learn of new job opportunitie ? What are their expectation of recovering or obtaining more traditional kind of employment? And what role do public policy play in facilitating or retarding adju tments to the e economic and technological change ? hifts in the nature of labor demand hould be an important part of re earch on the urban undercla .

What are the hiring criteria in variou ector concerning education and experience? Are poor youth hurt mo t by their potty work hi torie and lack of reference , by deficiencie in ba ic kill, b lack of "contacts" and information about firm , or by their appearance and demeanor when applying for job ? A better under tanding of the hiring proce in different kind of firm would be e pecially u eful in an wering the e que tion . Unfortunately, data on firm 'behavior are e peciall hard to come b . Of the nearl 1,000 data file archived b the InterUniver ity Con ortium of Political and ocial Reearch (ICP R), for example, only 17 are cla ified a being concerned with organizational behavior; none of them appear uitable to an wer que tion such a the e.

The e i ue are rele ant for the poor, nonpoor, and urban undercla s, and they are e pecially important when con idering policy option uch a ub idized training and relocation, the reform of unemployment in urance program ,or the tandardization of welfare benefit acro tate.

Some argue that we have yet to mea ure uch concepts a "ba ic kill" ati factorily-thus limiting our ability to under tand these problem and to de ign program 6

Regions, state, and citie. A large number and variety of proce e appear to link global and national change to tho e in the political economie of citie a they generate or avoid, maintain or ameliorate, concentrated and per i tent urban poverty. Con ider, for example, the variet of pattern in concentrated and per i tent urban poverty that urvey- and cen u -ba ed re earch have recentl highlighted. ix citie include 50 per cent of the urban poor who live in area of concentrated poven (Chicago, Detroit, Hou ton, Lo Angele, New York, and Philadelphia). But over a third of the poor in ew York and Chicago live in the e concentrated pockets of poverty, while only about 10 per cent of the poor in Lo Angele and Hou ton do (Bane and Jargow ky 19 ,u ing 19 0 data). Although the proportion of urban poor who live in very poor area increa ed from 16 per cent to 24 per cent between 1970 and 19 0 in the 100 large t citie in the United tate , the e citie di played con iderably different pattern of change that do not fit the facile explanation e oked by "fro tbelt" and "unbelt" label . The concentration of poverty in Miami and Phoenix, for example, increa ed greatly during thi period, while it declined in Cleveland. Among the 50 large t citie in the United tate, Bane and Jargow ky (19 ) found 31 in which poverty grew more concentrated between 1970 and 1980 (13 in which it increa ed ub tantiall ) and 19 in which it declined.

Other data ugge t that the dynamic of per i tence are equally varied and unexplained. Adam and Duncan (1987), for example, u ed model of per i tent urban poverty-ba ed on analysis of the Univer ity of Michigan Panel Study on Income Dynamics (P ID)-to impute the incidence of per i tent poverty in 30 of the large t citie in the United tate. Although approximately half of the poor living in 10 of the large t 11 citie in 19 0 were per i tently poor between 1974 and 1983 (i.e., poor in at lea t eight out of tho e 10 year ), variation in the incidence of per i tent poverty in citie of approximately 400,000 to 700,000 people were large.

Over two-third of the poor in Atlanta, Cleveland, Memphis, and ew Orlean were e timated to be per i tently 0 in 1980, while Ie than a third of the poor in Indianapoli, Kan a City, Na hville, an Jo e, and Seattle were.

ing of the mechanisms that create, maintain, or overcome the di advantage that already face tho e with inadequate income, job , and education. Studies have also not analyzed the relation hip between per i tence and concentration acro s or within citie .

Cen us tract data on which the e analy e of geographical concentration often draw cannot provide direct evidence concerning the persistence of poverty for individual or families, or acro generation . And the national longitudinal studies on which our knowledge of per i tence i ba ed are not ufficiently large to speak authoritatively about pecific citie or more detailed geographical and political units. There exi t a yet unexplored opportunitie to link Cen u tract data to ongoing national surveys, a repre ented, for example, by the work of Mary Corcoran and colleague at the University of Michigan, which adds contextual data about communitie to the record of PSID re pondents (Corcoran et al. 1987). An improved under tanding could be gained from more detailed tudie of pecific citie or communitie if aggregate, but geographically detailed, Cen us tract data were u ed more sy tematically to elect area for more richly contextual tudy.

Communitie and neighborhoods. Recent di cu ion of the urban undercla have begun to focus attention on the con equences that living in particular neighborhood may have for their re idents.

Author are e pecially concerned that the increa ing concentration of minority poor in urban area may relegate its re idents (and e pecially its children) to per i tent poverty and" ocial pathologies." Much of thi di cu ion a ume that the poor are worse off if they live among other poor than if they live in commumue and neighborhood in which other ocial and economic cla e reside. The inc rea ing concentration of poverty may be related to other ocial ill (e.g., increa ing chool drop-out rate, high crime rate , child maltreatment, and drug abu e).

The e effects are variou ly attributed to the decline of the local economy and of local institution uch as chools and churche, to changing pattern of interaction between local institution and re idents, to declining capital inve tments in the e areas, and to the inadequacy of informal ocial upport networks in high ri k neighborhood . Whether concentrated re idential poverty place children at a special ri k of becoming and taying poor them elve i not clear.

Some argue that adver e neighborhood characteri tics are mediated by family structures and proce e. Other a ert or imply that the e environments exert a eparate and powerful influence on children' live, over and above family influence .

The term of di cu ion are not well-formed a yet, and much of the di cussion of concentration focu es on its negative con equence ; little attention i given to the condition under which concentration may be turned to an advantage in delivering social ervices.

Much of the exi ting re earch on the effects of neighborhoods on behavior i weak, and policy pre criptions ari ing from a imple focu on the spatial di tribution of urban poverty-in the ab ence of larger organizing concepts and a greater appreciation for the politic or implementation of newly propo ed programs-risk doing more harm than good.

Unfortunately, the correlational evidence concerning the effects of communitie and neighborhood on behavior is drawn from a re earch literature replete with methodological difficulties Uenck and Mayer 19 8). Inadequate attention i given to individual characteri tic that may influence outcome , to the election of spatial unit for analy is, to the prior conditions of individual or the neighborhood in which they may have previously lived, to the interaction among neighbor , or to the likelihood that mea ured outcome change over time. Although quantitative analy e of the importance of communitie and neighborhoods have not yet found an adequate way of measuring neighborhood effects, it eem that linking thi re earch with ethnographicallyba ed tudies, which have for orne time argued for the importance of neighborhood in under tanding poverty, would be fruitful.

The level of analy i used in the tudy of communitie and neighborhood will play a central role in anchoring the broader integration and synthesi of re earch that is being ought and in providing a point of entry for linking re earch to public policy. It is at thi level that re earch can analyze the effects of changing labor markets, the role of other in titution in constructing the ocial reality that people experience, and the impact of public policy and private philanthropy in creating resources and supporting institution 路that upplement social relation that have been di rupted by cultural, ocial, economic, and technological change.

Family structures and proce es. The growing literature on family tructure and functioning typically doe not directly addre s either the concentration or the per i tence of poverty. However, studie in several different subfields are relevant for under tanding ways in which concentrated and per i tent poverty may affect familie ,and ways in which family structure and functioning may influence the intergenerational transmi ion of poverty. A number of 7

tudie al 0 point to the importance of relationship between the characteri tic of neighborhood and local communitie and the functioning of familie .

The intergenerational tran mi ion of poverty ha received increa ing attention. While a family' origin help predict whether individual member are able to e cape per i tent poverty, the effects are not a large a many would expect nor do they account for a much variance a (1) current family tructure, (2) family functioning, (3) ocial support and re ource , and (4) individual opportunitie and life deci ion (Brook -Gunn and Fur tenberg 1988).

A con iderable body of re earch upports the conclu ion that ingle-parent-headed hou ehold are much more likely to be p or than are hou ehold in which two parents re ide. With the proportion of out-of-wedlock birth reaching 90 per cent for black teenage girl and 60 per cent for black women in their early 20 , marriage becomes an increa ingly difficult avenue out of poverty. Little i known about the type of family tructure in which mother and their children live, their effects upon education and work, or their effects on children. Many femaleheaded ingle parent hou ehold are actually threegenerational familie which include grandmother , mother , and children. Greater attention need to be focu ed on the way in which uch hou ehold differ from traditional two-parent households or from ingle parent hou ehold in which the mother is the only adult. Re earch ugge ts the importance of kin network -which include individual residing in different hou ehold -for haring cash, child care, and other re ource and re ponsibilitie (Stack 1974; Lerman 1986). It al 0 uggests that family tructure are often quite fluid; whether and under what condition fluidity facilitates or impedes the movement out of poverty for familie i not known. Many of these relationship remain undocumented in the more conventional large urvey-ba ed que tionnaire that permit analy i of patial detail. Greater attention to the conceptualization of hou ehold , familie , and interfamilial and hou ehold links is needed.

A number of studie suggest that it may not be the family tructure itself, but a ociated difference in family functioning which re ult in different outcome for children. Although there i a fairly extensi e literature on the effects of ocioeconomic tatu on family functioning and on child development, the family proce approach has not been pecifically applied to familie who are living in concentrated and per i tent poverty. Exi ting reearch in thi field sugge ts that both the effects of concentration and persi tence of poverty on family

proce and the effects of family functioning on the per istence of poverty could be profitably examined.

Finding concerning the importance of the family' interaction with the local community are emerging from re earch in the ecological tradition of developmental p ychology, from behaviorally oriented tudie of family functioning, and from a growing body of re earch on the effects of ocial upport on p ychological well-being. The work environment (or lack thereof), the ocial impoveri hment of a neighborhood, and the number and quality of mothers' extrafamilial contacts have been hown to be related re pectively to the quality of parent-child interactions, the ri k of child maltreatment, and the incidence of children' behavioral problem . Moreover, individual' ubjective perception of the adequacy of their ocial upport network are a better predictor of the quality of father-mother and father-child engagement than are quantitative meaure of their ocial network , sugge ting the importance of under tanding the characteri tic of ocial networks that make them upportive rather than demanding and depleting.

Individual attributes. Much re earch emphasize the diver ity of individual outcome in concentrated and per i tent urban poverty. A large body of literature in economic, for example, examine the manner in which individual choo e the level and nature of their education, search for work, gain job experience, and make migration deci ion . The e proce e need to be applied to the study of the urban undercla s, to which they have not a yet been. The family proce literature stre es the wide diver ity of patterns of family interaction and of outcome for children.

Similarly, the ethnographic literature de cribe some youth who ucceed and pro per in a neighborhood of concentrated poverty a well a youth who e live are de troyed. Developmental studie emphasize the indeterminacy of outcome , and the po ibility of beneficial outcome at many points in an individual' life cour e.

The diversity of outcomes and 路of pathway to outcome sugge ts the need for a developmental per pective to under tand the cau es and con equence of that diversity. Studies in the developmental psychology of children at ri k employ pro pective longitudinal de ign which enable them to tudy the impact of ri k and protective factor on the outcome of tage- alient developmental ta ks (Garmezy and Rutter 1983). In a review of re earch into tre re i tant children, Garmezy (1985) concluded that three broad ets of variables operate as protective factor that are highly robu t predictor of re ilience: VOLUME

per onality features such a elf-e teem; family cohe ion and an ab ence of di cord; and the availability of external support system that encourage and reinforce a child's coping efforts. Rutter (1987) has argued for the need for re earch that focu e on the protective mechani m and proce e through which the e factor operate. Why and how, for example, do orne individual manage to maintain high elf-e teem and elf-efficacy in spite of facing the arne adver itie that lead other people to give up and 10 e hope? What happen that enable them to have ocial upports that they can use effectively at moments of cri i ? And what institutions or organizations tend to do well in providing the e ocial support in the type of urban ghetto mo t clo ely identified with the undercla ?

break out of per i tent poverty (e.g., marriage, employment, receipt of a high chool diploma or ba ic skills).

The challenges facing re earch and public policy on the urban underclass are formidable. Not only are the is ue complex and our under tanding of individual and ocial in titution limited, but the phenomenon of the urban undercla i itself a moving target. As difficult a it is, both re earch and policy need to anticipate social, economic, and technological change; to integrate re earch acro the variou levels of analysi and di ciplinary difference into which it is now divided; and to challenge this re earch to attend to the policy implication of its 0 re ults.

Selected Bibliography Conclusion The emergence of an urban underclass i a function of tructures and proce e which include change in demographic trend , economic re tructuring, and neighborhood . But we are uncertain of the magnitude and nature of the e influences and whether they work in uni on to create and maintain the urban undercla s. We do not know if the urban undercla i a con equence of each or all of the e proces e , and it may not erve public policy well to lump together uch divergent group, tructure, and proces es under a general rubric. We are limited in improving this understanding in part by the data, measure , and re earch de igns which this re earch ha had. The Council' program will eek to improve thi ituation.

In urn, the program will eek to encourage di cu sion and sub equent re earch that spans everal levels of analy i , which them elves are often further divided by di ciplinary, theoretical, and methodological difference . Several mechani ms provide the thread that weaves the e differences into a common fabric: (1) the structure that produce or create the possibility of persistent and concentrated urban poverty (e.g., increasing incompatibilities between labor demand and the availability of an appropriately skilled work force; the changing spatial distribution of job brought about by transfers of production, finance, and distribution that are themelves made po ible by changes in technology, the growth of multinational tran actions; etc.); (2) precipitating events that cau e individual or families to become impoverished (e.g., health related incapacitie, unemployment, divorce or eparation, etc.); and (3) cycle or dynamic that maintain or enable one to JUNE

A Historical Perspective on International Security Analysis IJy Robert O'Neill* UNTIL 1945, the only type of ecurity problem that was worth discussing in international forums and on which people wrote at any great length wa that of the great powers: the six of Europe (Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary), together at various times with the United States, Japan, China, and the Ottoman Empire. Everybody el e wa subordinate either in the international ~ierarchy of independent states or, more frequently, 10 one of the great empire -tho e of Britain, France, Holland, and Portugal, not to mention that of the United States acquired from Spain. The most populous state of all, China, emerged only in the 1920s from a medieval sy tem of administration and then underwent a paralyzing internal conflict before being dismembered by Japan.

The mechanism for the maintenance of great power security had been the delicate and intricate linkage of the Concert of Europe, a linkage which became overloaded in the years immediately before World War I and simply could not carry the weight that wa placed on it. At a lower level, the great powers also had to worry about the ecurity of their own empires, and within the highest policy councils of Britain and France there were major divisions regarding imperial defen e or imperial ecurity. We might call it regional security today, but it was looked at then, of course, in a very different context. Britain and France worried a good deal about the way their writ ran in their own empires and even more about the new resources over which they might gain control and how strategic vantage points might be won, defended, and used to disconcert rival great power .

An~ that is about as far as it went. The feelings of ubJect people began to be of consequence in the 19th century, but few in the metropolitan powers had any time for their ca e until the attempt was made to reform the international order under the aegis of President Wilson after the war.

The impact of World War I That war left the legacy of a hattered Austria-Hunwho e fragments defied ordering and stabilizatIon then and occasion concern even today. Just contemplate the role of Czecho lovakia, the friction between Romania and Hungary that ha gone on for years undiminished by ideology or formulae for self-determination, and the almo t unworkable me s that the Southern Slavs-the Yugo lavs-have created out of the bits and piece from the Ottoman Empire and the Au tro-Hungarian Empire that they have tried to fit together into a federal state. Ru ia w.as gone, repl~ced by. the i olated, weak, and bitterly dIstrustful SovIet Umon, the outsider whom, until the late 1920 , nobody really wanted back in, even its clandestine paramour-the German. Britain and Franc~ were weakened critically. Germany re ented bemg made through reparation to take the whole blame for the failure of a system of maintaining ecurity that had become incapable of preserving balance and harmony under the pre ures of nat~onalism, econ?mic change, ocial change, and theIr consequent Impact on national perceptions of ecurity and military power.

A cruelly di illusioned world tried to found a new international sy tem through the League of Nations, and through the proce of self-determination for pi~ces of the loser' empires in Europe and the MIddle East that were temporarily free from attachment to one power or another. A major attempt was made to di arm. It took quite a long time even to agree on how to begin to talk about di armament.

Crippled by America's refu al to join and by defections of major power member , the League was effectively dead by the mid-1930s. Europe and the world were back to the old balance-of-power system, but with two principal players- Hitler and Mussolini-who despised the old rule and longed for the day on which they would defy them and commence the overthrow of the old order. ~ary

The lessons of World War II World War II showed clearly that the European balance of power was finished as a means of maintaining security in the world at large. Europe 11

had largely de troyed itself in the proce ,and the United State had achieved a po ition of dominant trength, albeit of a temporary nature. The oviet Union had gained a tronger ba i of economic upport in Ea tern Europe. Japan was humbled.

Generall ,leader hoped that they had learned the right Ie on from the 1930 and that there wa ome pro pect that the affair of the world would be conducted in moderate harmony in accordance with the principle of the United ation Charter-or rather on interpretation made by the five permanent member of the ecurity Council.

The tate men of the world, however, a in the 1920 , were flying blind with little real analy i and debate to guide them. What public political analy i there wa tended to be highly idealistic or crudely con ervative. Military analy is, with ome notable exception like that of Bernard Brodie, tended to be narrowly operational. Political-military or politica1trategic analy e were largely ab ent outside of the rank of foreign and defen e mini trie , and even there, analy e were u ually narrowly conceived and often u ed a a ba i for pecial pleading in the internal fight for re ource . Public concern after the Ie on of the two world war and the demon trated power of the atomic bomb was high. But there wa not much to relieve that concern. The level of public debate wa low and governments took little trouble in explaining their ecurity policie either to their own electorate or to their potential enemie .

The demi e of the great power of Europe as the central actor in the international y tem left an order with four layer that i largely intact today, if inadequatel under tood. Abo e everything remain till the univer allinkage of the United ation, but only partially re pee ted and with very limited juri diction. Beneath that lie the relation hip betw en the uperpower and their allie, then the relationship of the regionally-connected tate that have formed them el e into local y tem , particularl in the Middle Ea t, entral America, and outhea t A ia. Finally, underlying all, are the ecurity problem of the newly-independent, or not et indep ndent, tate with their many internal weakne e and external pre ure. The field of analy i broadened dramatically a the Cold War inten ified and regional problem mounted. The di parity between the demand for con idered view and their upply wa 0 enormou that governments had to take p cial mea ure to fo ter experti e, and foundation uch a Ford and Rockefeller helped to found a whole new intellectual industry. The age of the academic grand trategi t had really arrived, and 12

We have had an opportunity in thi conference to examine their efforts in the 1940 and 1950 through the work done by our historian in the program.

They have shown u what a frightening time it was for tho e who really under tood the magnitude of the take, the level of the ri k that had to be accepted, and the carcity of real option. The hi torian have revealed some good analy i by government agencie but al 0 much that was crude, ideologically or politically predetermined, narrow, and de igned to ward off unwelcome conclu ion uch a were provided by the U. . Strategic Bombing urvey in Germany, regarding the effectivene of air operation .

The anticolonial movement Our tudie have al 0 shown u a growing awarene of the new dimen ion of ecurity in the po t-1945 period and of the role of dependent territorie -such a Briti h po e ion in Southea t A ia and the Caribbean-in determining international leverage and statu and in contributing to the trength of the metropolitan power . They have al 0 revealed, albeit indirectly, an ab ence of thinking about an important new range of problem , tho e of accommodating the de ire and pre ure of people who wanted to be free of colonial or neighbor' domination. In one or two case, uch a that of the Briti h in Malaya, the ultimate power of the con ent of the indigenou people wa recognized and utilized, clearing the way for independence with a mooth and relatively peedy tran fer of power to more or Ie con ervative European-educated and We tern-looking leader. But the contempt of the newly-independent for the exi ting bipolar trueture of international power wa hown in the e tabli hment of the Afro-A ian Conference in 1955 and ub equently the on-Aligned Movement. While the re earch in titute and univer itie were churning out important tudie on nuclear i ue, the e other problem were carcely under tood, let alone analyzed effectively.

The dominant powers paid for thi failure of under tanding in the 1960 and 1970 , particularly, of cour e, the United State in Vietnam. But the uperpower 10 t both standing and leverage throughout the developing world becau e they did not under tand it problem. They did not totally lose influence, however.

The power to hape international events, however, became more widely di em inated to the advantage of countrie like Japan, tho e of the European community, the oil producer, and client state in strategic trouble pots uch a Israel and South Korea.

Early studies of arms control The analysts worked to very u eful effect on the problems of maintaining stability in the bipolar nuclear tructure through the cIa ic works of the early 1960 on strategy and arms control. On the other hand, practical progre s in tho e fields was often held ho tage to event el ewhere in the world: Vietnam, the Middle Ea t, and the Prague Spring of 1968. Analysts had to wait until the ten e uperpower relation hip had become Ie before they could begin eriou ly to di cu arm control in the late 1960 . But they had rendered a powerful ervice in laying the foundation on which wa built the fabric of arm control and the more carefully managed international y tern that we aw e tabli hed in the 1970 .

new type of conflict between Third World tate them elve for regional power. Second, the fir t ignificant regional cooperative grouping, ASEA , was formed, demon trating how neighbor which had been through a very worri orne, indeed frightening, experience could bury an old quarrel in a new tructure of power which acknowledge and reinforce interdependence rather than militate again t it. The late 1960s and early 1970 were not a go d time for regional ecurity analy i . In the wake of the optimi tic wave of book on counterin urgency, which appeared in the fir t half of the 1960 , came a tream of biting, di illu ioned work which made compelling reading-like tho e of Noam Chomskybut which we u e today more a indicator of the tate of debate, and the ten ion involved, than for in ights into how governments actually took po ition and developed policie .

Decline of interest in peace and security studies Curiou ly, the negotiation of the SALT I and ABM treatie , the development of a Ie ho tile relation hip between the We t and China, and the winding down of U.. involvement in Vietnam-all of which had been urged by many writer in our field-dealt international ecurity tudie a body blow. Public and political intere t in the field collap ed, both in re pon e to the po itive developments in Ea t-We t relation and to the clear ign, at la t, that the United tate and China would not let the Vietnam War blow up into a wider conflagration but leave it to burn it elf out for a long a it took the North to con ume the Thieu government and its army. Never wa there a more difficult time for rai ing money, finding job , and maintaining re pect for the field in the eye of colleague in other di cipline and area of inquiry. Peace tudie, in contra t, became firml e tabli hed and made more important contribution in the 1970 .

Although the Arab-I raeli War and the on et of the de truction of Lebanon attracted intere t, much of it wa of a uperficial kind from people who admired brave I raeli oldier and mart weapon without looking beyond into the deepening problem of the Pale tinian and the Labor Party in I rael, and into the con equence of the hattering of Lebanon and the opening it demi e left to externally controlled faction . The tiny handful of cholar who were right about Iran, compared with the multitude of peciali t who believed that the Shah could hold on, howed further the parlou condition into which 13

we had slipped. When it wa finally noticed after the oviets had gone into Afghani tan that oviet peciali t were carcely to be found below the age of 60, thing began to happen. Prompted al 0 by clear ign of a tate of cri i in the Atlantic Alliance after Pre ident Carter' deci ion not to deploy the neutron bomb and the controver ial I F twin-track deci ion in 1979 (to deplo intermediate range mi ile in Europe while imultaneou I negotiating with the Soviet Union over the elimination of the e mi ile), governments, univer itie, foundation, and the media began to think about becoming more upportive of our field of inquiry.

Recent revival

orne heed to non-We terner. Some We terners could ee that the ecurity problem of the developing state would be dealt with most effectivel by peciali ts from the developing countrie them elve , who not only under tood the wider international environment (and for that they had had to come to the We t to get an initial orientation) but al 0, and more importantly, could relate their knowledge and under tanding of the international environment to the weak internal structure with which mo t developing tate were afflicted.

Small states and developing countries The We t, in the meantime, had recovered from the po t-Vietnam backlash. Some regional ecurit problem did matter after all, the public had come to believe, and We tern analysts began to approach the e problem with more of a en e of their own conceptual limitation and with a greater willingne to collaborate with pecialists from the developing tate under examination. A concatenation of mall tate problems from the Seychelles to Grenada to Botswana and Le otho in the 1980 awakened people to the fact that 44 out of the 150 or 0 tate of the world had populations of Ie than a million, were easy targets for external pre ure, and had virtuaUy no re ource for their own defen e. Yet the e tates were con tantly pre ed by both We t and Ea t to allow external power to defend them and-quite often in the arne proce -were exploited for wider trategic ends. The e pre ure virtually en ured that there would be chronic instability problems in key trategic region where the e mall tate are located.

Al 0 during the 1980 , it has become increa ingly clear that the ecurity problem of developing tates are not to be under tood as being e entially imilar to tho e of developed states. Nation building, cohe ion, quality of government, ability to conduct election, en e of national identity, cultural autonomy, and di ciplined government servants under fun government control, particularly the military-all thing which We tern tate can take largely for granted-have to be promoted actively to build ecure states in the Third World. Economic ju tice is another key requirement for Third World security at both individual and state levels.

The hock produced by the Reagan victory of 19 0 and orne of Reagan' sub equent ecurity policy tatement , notably the gaffe of 1981, finally held the attention of foundation board long enough to relea e the re ource to begin a major new wave of development in international ecurity tudie . Important work forged ahead in alliance relation , doctrine and force tructure , Soviet tudie, and under the pecial timulu of the Strategic Defen e Initiative-arm control. But thi new wave of international ecurity tudie (of which the program in which we are all involved i now the mo t ambitious component) had to addre s a far wider array of i ue than tho e of the golden age of the 1960 which focu ed e entially on nuclear trategy and arm control.

The Vietnam experience ugge ted that there wa omething wrong with our regional ecurity analy i .

But uch wa the feeling of exhau tion and bitterne s after the U.S. withdrawal that little intere t remained. However, the end of detente, and the conflicts in Afghani tan, Angola, Iran, and Kampuchea, removed much of the inhibition in We tern circle. More importantly, in the late 1970 the developing tates them elve took a much more erious interest in analyzing their own ecurity problem. Re earch in titute were e tabli hed by everal governments. A small cadre of Third World experts wa trained, and recognizable Third World voice held forth to contribute to the We tern debate.

There were not enough analy ts from the developing countrie at work in this field to make much of an impact or to enlighten greatly the thinking of Regional security and the central balance We tern governments, but the ice had been broken.

Third World in ecurity can till tran late into great Contacts had been made, interest had been aroused in both the developing state and the We t, and the power insecurity both by neglect, creating opportuWe t had begun to learn a little humility and to pay nitie for the other ide to fi h in troubled waten, 14

and by intervention, leading often, if not always, to frustration, loss of standing in the eyes of the world, and erosion of domestic support in the intervening power for the government of the day. This situation is very different from the zercrsum game that the superpowers played with bases and facilities in the 1960s and 1970s. The linkage between regional security and the central balance needs to be comprehended now in a much broader and more subtle manner. Just because arms control is now making progress again-a Reagan administration triumph of experience over inclination-this is no time to stop research on further stages of arms control and the problems of managing the central balance at lower levels of nuclear weapons.

Achieving 50 per cent reductions will be difficult enough, but there are greater challenges in the long term as governments have to decide what their preferences are for combining defensive and offensive systems and then assess the size of the offensive force that they will need to preserve their own interests. Assuming, for the moment, that they will be able to achieve significant progress towards these goals, we will then face the problems of living without substantial nuclear redundancy. Government and public opinion in both West and East may well respond more frantically to perceived changes in the conventional balance, and be more sensitive to changes in the Third World that appear to relate to their security interests, than was the case at a time of far greater superfluity in nuclear weapons.

Research needs in an era of nuclear disarmament We need to study more closely the problems of stable management of the bipolar relationship at much lower levels of nuclear force. Many of the studies of perception, of the p ychology of decision making, and of language and logic that are alrea~y under way in the SSRC-MacArthur program m International Peace and Security Studies can be very helpful. They will need to be augmented by studies of ethics, of nuclear and nonnuclear doctrines, and of the many other fields represented in this program.

But, substantial as we hope to make it, the existing program is obviously far from enough by itself to cope with the range of ecurity problems to be solved. It will, I hope, be extended and reoriented.

Let me close on a practical point. The amount of financial support available for further work in this field will depend significantly on appraisals of the quality of work already under way. Wider issues hang on the results of our efforts than simply our own futures, and work should be undertaken with a sense of responsibility both to other scholars working in this field and to those who will have to manage the affairs of the world in the coming generation. Even if tensions in the East-West relationship continue to ease, management of the international system in an increasingly complex society of states will be difficult enough. Moreover, past experience ~arns us .no~ to gamble on trends in East-West relations contmumg for more than a few years.

Human Processes in Earth Transformation A proposed Council program on the social sciences and global environmental change

by Richard C. Rockwtll* MEN AND WOMEN LIVE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH,

breathe its air, and exploit it re ource. Our ph icall weak pecie ha ri en to the top of the food chain, e tabli hing ecological niche acro the globe. For millennia we have tran formed the Earth by our action . The changing Earth ha al 0 altered human behavior, in ome ca e enhancing our u e of the Earth, in other limiting and puni hing our behavior, and in other threatening the ur i al of future generation . Yet few ocial and behavioral cienti t have been articulate in rai ing i ue about man' role in Earth tran formation, and fewer till have carried out re earch program .

The idea of initiating a Council project focu ed on que tion that ari e from ocial cience concern about the human role in and human re pon e to global en ironmental change ha generated much enthu ia m both in the ocial cienc community and at the ouncil. A propo al to develop an interdi ciplinar national program focu ed on a core ocial cience agenda will b reviewed b the Council' Committee on Problem and Policy (P&P) when it meets in June 19 . P&P, which provide intellectual guidance to the Council and approve the initiation of new project, will be a ked to approve the appointment of a planning committee.

Over the pa t 300, or 500, or 1,000 year -no one ha completed the hi torical accounting-there ha been a radical change in how human interact with their environment. Thi change ha b en ignaUed by an order-of-magnitude increa e in the cale of the effects of human activity on the environment, b an exten ion beyond the normal vi ion of governments and individual of the time horizon in which human action elicit ignificant environmental change, and by increa ing complexity in the interaction of pa t environmental change with current tre e on the environment.

Citizen environmental movements have ari en in virtually every indu trialized and developing nation, particularl ince the 1962 publication of Rachel Car on' eminal work, ilent Spring.

Thi radical amplification of the interaction of human with nature make more central the role in physical and biological proce e of human and their intitution and organization. To Vernad ky, the central role in environmental change wa not that of human technology but of the global knowledge and communication engendered by that technology.

The time ha urely come to incorp rate ocial per pective more adequately into re earch on human a force in nature. In international forum in recent year , both the ociali t nation and the developing nation have urged increa ed attention to the need for fundamental ocial cience re earch on the e matter and to the need for u tained interaction among phy ical, biological, and ocial cienti ts. cienti ts who have long worked in the field have voiced imilar hope . Such in i tence has led to a variety of re pon e from the ocial cience community, of which the Council' intere t repreent a portion: that portion focu ed on developing a U. . national program de igned to formulate a ocial cience re earch agenda and to develop the field.

ture i to attract the needed level of intere t among ocial cienti t , the re earch problem mu t intere t ocial cienti t on their cientific merit . The reearch agenda mu t offer orne hope of enriching ocial cience by advancing an under tanding of general ocioeconomic proce e. While ocial cienti t are no Ie concerned than are other citizen about the ero ion of oil , the pollution of the air of citie , the hazard of earthquake in built-up area, the genetic danger of biochemical control of weed and pe ts, and the long-term menace of ri ing global mean temperature , the e concern in them elve have not proved enough to cau e u to enli t in re earch endeavor in large number . Nor have repeated plea from natural cienti t that ocial cienti ts help them addre their problem . What i needed i a formulation of re earch i ue that are intrin ic to the viewpoint of the ocial cience. What i needed i a research agenda that place the que tion quarely within the ocial cience in an effective interdi ciplinary, not imply multidi ciplinary, way.

That the problem can be een a prime candidate for cutting-edge re earch in the ocial cience hould require little argument. Social facts, as Emile Durkheim under tood them, are at the core of the interaction of human with nature. The concept of "natural re ource ," often con idered the domain of natural cienti t , is a ocially-con tructed and hi toricallycontingent proce . Only the human occupation of the Earth give meaning to energy and to natural re ource uch a coal. The Dome day Book of 10 5-86 did not mention the abundance of coal in England, although it pre umed to de cribe all the reource and as et of that land for William the Conqueror, becau e no one viewed coal at that time a a ource of energy, much Ie a ource of chemical.

Council seminar The Council embraced thi opportunity for fo tering re earch by convening a eminar during the December 1987 meeting of P&P and a ub equent planning meeting held on the Brown Univer ity campu on April 29-30, 198 .

In preparation for the December eminar, William C. Clark of the John F. Kennedy School at Harvard Univer ity and Robert W. Kate ofthe World Hunger Program at Brown Univer ity-a member ofthe Council' board of director -produced a " ampler" of que tion rooted in ocial cience that merit re earch attention.

In particular, what are the relative role of the amount and concentration of human population, the character and u of technology, the changing relation betwe n pIa e of production and con umption, and the "reach" and power of tate and other in tiLUtional tructure ? How do the e role vary acro culture. and through hi tory?

How can the nonlinear proce e. unique even • perception thre hold . and tochastic phenomena that underlie the e epi ode be more creativel addre ed and y tematically under tood? How can in titutional tructure be de igned to monitor and manage them more effectivel ?

The cale of ignificant interaction between human a tiviti and the environment ha progre ively expanded to the point at which local. regional. and global phenomena are now involved. How have in titutional tructure and policie changed to cope with thi expan ion? What new mode of ocialorganization have emerged? Which in titutional re pon e have been relativel effective in linking local action to global change?

Where are more ffective ocial tructure mo t needed and how can they be created?

In the 25 year ince ilrot pring, the "environment" i ue has become an economy that command 1-2 per cent of the indu trialized countrie ' GNP. a politi that cro e traditional divi ion ,and a persi tent concern on the public agenda.

How can the e phenomena be explored and explained? How pecial are they relative to other emerging i ue? all for more" u tainable" development proliferate. But what are the strength and limitation of alternative approache to improving the living tandard of individual in developing countrie while pIa ing fewer tre e on the natural environment and re ource ba e?

Knowledge of the phy i ,chemi try, and biology of global change ha increa d dramatically over the la t d cade; advan e over the next 10-20 year are certain to be even greater.

But thi ientific knowledge i and will remain incomplete, more able to rai e ocial alarm than to re olve th m. What methodological or in titutional mea ure can be taken to deal more effectively with thi dilemma? More generally, how can ocial u e of the incomplete but policy relevant knowledge of global change be better under tood?

Providence planning meeting Thi Ii t of que tion erved a the foundati n for a ub equent meeting held in April 19 on the Brown Universit campu in Providence. The purpo e of the meeting wa to te t the propo ition that there i a plauible re earch agenda that grow out of the ocial ience , to add to the "sampler" of que tion above, and to make initial plan for how the Council might proceed.

Participants included Robert Chen, Brown Univer ity; William C. Clark, Harvard Univer ity; Roger Ka peron, Clark University; Robert W. Kate, Brown Univerity; William H. McNeill, Univer ity of Chicago; Robert 17

¡ Mitchell, lark University; John F. Richard, Duke Universit; ara R. Millman, Brown University; and Billie Lee Turner, Clark University. Richard C. Rockwell repre ented the ouncil.

The group took a it aim the formulation of a program that will enable ocial cienti ts better to under tand the circum tance of change in the en ironment, to extend the effectivene and wi dom of con ciou human attempt to manage Earth tran formation, to a i t in the creation of policie that might avert orne of the feared ecological mi hap and tragedie , and to develop the data ba e required for thi re earch.

The group propo ed that the Council create a reear h planning program around everal theme . Tho e theme will be articulated in a paper now being drafted b Mr. Ka per on with contribution from other participants in the Providence workshop. What i envisioned pan the ocial ience: anthropology, economi , geography, hi tory, political cience, p ychology, 0001ogy, and tati ti , a well a uch allied field a legal tudie , polic anal i, and ri k anal i. In general term, the program encompa e: (1) the human driving force oftran formation ofthe Earth; (2) OOal feedback proce e, including consciou mobilization and "invi ible hand "; (3) the vulnerability and re ilience of

human oaetle to environmental change; (4) a hi torical perspective; and (5) data ba e focu ed on ocial phenomena. Participants were mindful of the rich new technologie available for monitoring change in human activitie as well as in the environment, including satellite ob ervation of human ettlement and re ource use, and of the con iderable utility of computer model and imulation.

Participants emphasized that the propo ed program require a long-term inve tment of human and financial re ource . At least three years will be required imply to build up a re earch agenda and complete orne exemplary tudie. Another five years will probabl be required to e tablish career tracks in universitie and re arch ettings, to recruit outstanding young researchers to the endeavor, and to rai e enough funding to upport the nece sary ub tantial re earch program.

The di cu ion ranged widely over man a pects of oviet reform-perestroika (re tructuring). The Soviet economi ts u uall led off with brief opening tatement and then re ponded to often inten e, probing que tioning by the American peciali t . The exchange provided highly illuminating in ights into the tate and progre of oviet economic reform in both po itive and negative term . Given the rapid pace of pert troika, it wa extremely valuable to the American peciali ts to have the opportunit to di cu and try to clarify what wa happening, and what oviet economi ts wanted to happen, in the reform proce .

Thi article offer a flavor of the di cu ion, tre ing the highlights, including the di cu ion of the ocioeconomic a pects of pere troika, which are u ually not very thoroughly covered in the economic literature on oviet reform. Tho e reader intere ted in a full account hould refer to the i ue of oviet Economy cited above.

Basic directions of perestroika The lead in the di cus ion of the ba ic direction of the economic reform wa taken b Aganbegyan and Abalkin. Three a pect of pert troika, were de cribed: (I) efforts to enhance the ocial orientation of economic development: hou ing, food upply, health, education, and welfare; (2) commitments to change the factor, ource, and face of economic growth, and to inten ify the improvement of product quality and the acceleration of technical progre ; and (3) the radical re tructuring and democratization of the management of the oviet economy.

In di cu ing the ource of economic growth, the Soviet economi ts tre ed the need to alter inve tment p lic which, in the pa t, led to the low replacement of ob olete capital. The empha i i to be on the modernization of exi ting factorie -the replacement of old machine with new, technicall uperior one,

rather than the con truction of new factorie . Thi mean that the hare of machinery and equipment in inve tment should increa e relative to the hare of con truction. 2 In order to accompli h thi goal, ubtantial inve tment mu t be put into the machinebuilding ector. Aganbegyan a erted that in the period of the 12th Five-Year Plan (FYP), which cover the year 19 6-1990, inve tment in machine building will be double that in the previou FYP period. 5 The ab orption of uch a hift in inve tment policy i not ea y. Manyenterpri e are not ready to adapt to the e change and to new, unfamiliar equipment. In addition, the new y tern of go priemka ( tate-monitored quality control) introduced la t year ha di rupted orne enterpri e . Thi ha led to declining rate of growth in output. While the ituation i now improving omewhat, the 12th FYP is a mo t difficult one.

More generall ,the Soviet economi ts tated, the period of tran ition during the next three years to the new economic mechani m announced in June 19 7, and described in preliminary form in a erie of decree i ued in July 19 7, will be very difficult. Enterpri e will be hifting to fmancial independence while price and the price formation y tern remain unchanged, and other elements of centralization including, in particular, the centralized y tern of upply (rather than the future ytern of decentralized wholesale trade) till predominate.

Furthermore, the 12th FYP, whi h was not de igned with the new economic mechani m in mind, will till be in effect. Thu , the potential benefits of the new economic mechani m will not be immediately apparent and people will have doub about how the reform i working out. The 13th FYP (1991-1995) will, however, be different. The ituation will improve, but the problem of tran ition to a new tern are and will continue to be evere.

Transition strategies and problems It wa the problem of tran ition that dominated the early roundtable di cu ion. The American pe iali ts argued that critical to a ucce ful tran ition wa the building and maintenance of forward momentum. Thi , fir t of all, require popular upport. But the fruits f pert troika are long term while the co ts are immediate. Thi i wh an "agriculture fir t" equencing trategy i 0 attractive. The payoff to radical reform in agriculture i fa t, a wa evident in China and Hungar ,and the improvement in the quantity and qual2 Thi i a poli y that actually predate ptrt troilw . But as one of the American peciali ts pointed out, the revers appear to have occurred in the last couple of ear. , If thi i an a curate tatement, it i quite intere ting, becau e the actual 12th FYP called for "onl .. an 0 per cent in rea in inve tment in rna hine building.

it of the food uppl gain the upport of the people for the reform proce . Thi i true aloof the better provi ion of con umer ervice from the expan ion of private and cooperative economic acti ity that i included in the oviet reform. However, another ource of improvement for the oviet con umer-the increa ed importation of con umer good -doe not eem to be contemplated.

The building of momentum in the reform proce al 0 require the imultaneou introduction of change in enough of the interrelated a peets of an economic tern 0 a to give the new economic mechani m uffi ient internal con i tenc to ure that the reform proce ("reform i a proce n t an event") will move forward. The American peciali ts que tioned the wi dom of the reform trategy of tarting in the indu trial ctor, the ector that pre ents the mo t eriou difficultie for imultaneou change. In particular, the wi dom of not waiting until the price reform had been worked out wa challenged, ince price reform affects all a peets of the new economic mechani m.

In addition to i ue of equencing trategie ,a number of other tran ition problem were raised. One i the conflict between pre ure for growth in both the quantit and qualit of output. The two goal compete with each other, e pecially in the Soviet Union, given the nature of pa t oviet planning practice which emphaized quantit over qualit . Another i ue i the need, if conomic efficiency i to improve, to protect the manager' right to di mi unneeded worker without the requirement to find them new job (which hould be the obligation of the tate). A third i ue i the contradiction in the viet approach to reform of forbidding a uperior economi organization (a ,a mini try) from interfering in the acti ity of a ubordinate body (sa an enterpri e) while at the arne time holding the uperior body re pon ible for the performance of its ubordinate.

The oviet re pon e to the e que tion were direct and intere ting if not totall convincing. With regard to an "agriculture fir t" trategy, the re pon e generall wa that the oviet Union i not China. Given the more advanced mechanization of agriculture in the oviet Union, the imple etting up of famil units in agriculture i not ufficient, although there i a place for it in a broader program of agricultural reform which i being developed. Furthermore, it wa argued that the oviet Union cannot afford to delay reform in indu tr for ix to eight year a wa done in China.

The oviet Union i now a generation behind the We t in term of indu trial technology. If it waits ix to eight ear before reforming the economic mechani m in indu try, it rna not be able to catch up, argued Academician Abalkin.

20

The delay in introducing price reform wa defended on the ground of the extreme complication involved and the need to work out the detail carefull , Ie t co t1 error be made. "E entially, we are opting for a pain takingly thorough approach. for unlike in the ca e of Poland and Hungary, there i no one to help u out if we mi calculate. We can onl rely on our elve ," Aganbegyan tated.

The oviet economi ts acknowledged that there i a potential contradiction between the pur uit of quantity and qual it growth. But it wa argued that a planned national product gr wth rate of 41/2 per cent per year in the oviet Union i not too high for qualit al 0 to grow. It wa al 0 agreed that go priemka i an admini trative method of quality control rather than an economic one. Ultimatel , the cu tomer hould be the judge of the qualit de ired, but in the tran ition to the new economic mechani m, go priemka i u eful.

There wa trong agreement that manager ' right to reduce their work force need to be upported and that tate agencie have to take on the re pon ibilityof dealing with frictional unemployment. It wa pointed out that the proce of reducing the number of worker had already begun in the railroad y tern in the Beloru ian Republic. In 19 6, 125,000 worker 10 t their job , and in 19 7, the preliminary figure wa 270,000 worker. The e were reduction through the di mi al of worker , not ju t through attrition.

Finally, with regard to the re pon ibilitie and restriction of mini trie ,one oviet economi t argued that the mini try i re pon ible, in a branch of indu try, for its long term growth, not for the activity of the enterpri within that branch. To accompli h thi tran ition, the taff: of mini trie are being reduced b one-half. The power of mini trie to control enterpri e i being further reduced by elements in the economic reform. For example, mini trie will not be able to disrni enterprise manager, ince the managers under the new law on the tate enterpri e are to be elected by the labor collective of the enterpri e.

Growth and technology The crucial role of real competition in the proc of innovation and technical change wa prominent in the di cu ion of i ue relating to growth and technology. The Soviet agreed on the importance of competition. Makarov (the director of T EMI) poke pecificall of the need to develop a market for products of cientific technological origin which, if it i to function efficiently, hould interact with a market for traditional products.

The discu ion also involved the role of the military ector in the development of new technology and the VOL ME

relation hip of the military-<ivilian trade-off to the progre s of economic reform. The important element here, it was argued mo dy by the American , i the tran fer of highly capable manager from the military ector to the civilian ector, e pecially to civilian machine building. Inevitably, discu ion moved to the i ue of the burden of defen e in the Soviet economy. One Soviet economi t argued that defen e expenditure in the Soviet Union do not compri e 15-17 per cent of the GNP as claimed by the CIA; he felt they are sub tantially lower.

Soviet tati tics now acknowledge that the official figure publi hed as the So iet military budget is limited to pernnel, military pen ion ,familie of veteran ,etc. "The direct expenditure ," he tated, "compri ing military procurement are reflected in the balance of other government authorities- not in the figure attached to the Mini try of Defen e. The figure are unknown, but they may be publi hed in the future."

Socioeconomic aspects of perestroika

The main thru t of the comments and que tions by the American speciali t tre sed the critical, hard choice that all societie have to make between equality and efficiency. Za lav kaya accepted thi and added the need in the Soviet Union for a change from ba ing pay on time pent at work to pay ba ed on the quality of work and it contribution to ocial benefit.

But, she argued, a ceiling at orne level mu t be placed.

While the average wage i now about 200 ruble per month, a ceiling of 2,000-3,000 ruble for example, or even 10,000 ruble ,i sufficient to bring forth all the benefits of income differentiation. Income above that would be counterproductive. In addition, he tated that people engaging in private activity in the Soviet Union, where high income can be earned, are al 0 employed in the state ector and thu do not bear the arne degree of ri k a private entrepreneur in capitali t countrie . Furthermore, since prices in the Soviet Union are rather "whimsical," they hould not be the ba is for income differential .

(3) Worker security and attitudes toward the refonns.

The American peciali ts al 0 argued that so ietie have to choo e between ecurity and economic dynamism. While We tern ocietie may be moving away from dynami m toward more ecurity for their people, the Soviets face the more difficult ocial and political ta k of moving in the oppo ite direction.

Za lav kaya accepted thi and aid it i a problem that will require great efforts on the part of the government to educate the people a to the benefits that can flow from a more dynamic economy.

Support for perestroika, she stated, i rather strong (although ophisticated mean for measuring the upport have yet to be developed), but that it varie with who tands to gain and who tand to 10 e from reform. In general, though, young people, who tand to gain the mo t, are upporter of perestroika.

Among the mo t interesting di cu sion at the roundtable were tho e on the ocioeconomic a pects of perestroika. The di cu sion wa led by Academician Za lav kaya. Some of the is ue rai ed were the following: (I) Unemployment. Who will be the fir t people to be di mi ed by enterprise manager? To begin, they will be the wor t worker , the lea t killed and the lea t di ciplined, including tho e with drinking problem . Specific olutions must be developed to find the e people suitable alternate work. Second, people who find it hard to compete will be dismi ed.

The e include women with small children, people in poor health, and elderly people. Social guarantees uitable for this group will have to be devi ed.

Finally, there will be the problem of tructural (branch) and regional unemployment.

(2) Living standards and income inequality. Many Conclusion a pects of this is ue were di cu ed. Za lav kaya While firm conclu ion cannot be drawn from such expre ed her own concern that perestroika with its a wide-ranging et of di cus ions, an overall ob ervaempha i on tying income and living tandard to the tion can be made. Clearly, the problem of tran ition earning of enterpri e will lead to exce ive regional, to a new economic mechanism, and tho e a ociated branch, and enterpri e inequalitie .

New Directions in Indochina Studies

by Toby Alice Volkman· IN 1975, THE AMERICAN WAR in Indochina ended.

For mo t We tern cholar of outhea t A ia, the American defeat al 0 meant the end of We tern re earch in and on the region: acce to the field wa impo ible, institutional upport waned at home, and the powerful po twar amne ia that overtook 0 much of America affected the cholarly communit a well.

Vietnam, Lao , and Cambodia-three countrie that had been 0 deeply intertwined with America' recent hi tory and ocial cri i -faded from popular and academic con ciou ne with a toni hing peed.

Concerned about the decline in cholarly intere t in Indochina, the Joint Committee on outhea t A ia OCSEA) created an Indochina tudie Program (ISP) in 19 3. Supported by grants from the Ford Foundation, the ational Endowment for the Humanitie ,and the Henry Luce Foundation, the ISP wa intended to reinvigorate the Indochina field b drawing on the re ource of orne of the 650, 0 Vietname e, Lao, and Cambodian then re ident in the United State.

The program awarded grants to individual for reearch on all a pects of Indochine e ociety (exclu ive of the American war) that could be tudied through the knowledge, peech, kill, and memory of mu ician ,dancers, textile artists, writers, tory tellers, former pea ants and politician ,journali ts, teacher , monk , and haman now living in North America. Since its fir t round of award in 19 4, the ISP ha given 3 grants to 67 American, Vietname e, Khmer, Lao, Hmong, and other recipients for re earch in uch field a anthropology, dance, hi tory, law, literature, lingui ti ,mu ic, religion, and ociology. everal mea ure ugge t that the tud of Indochina in the United State ha been growing in the la t few ear. The number of tudents regi tered for Vietname e, Khmer, and Lao language cour e at the Sou thea t A ian Studie ummer In titute (EA I) increa ed from 10 in 19 4 to 37 in 19 7. In 1987, over 400 cour e were offered nationally on the Indochina war. The I P has organized a number of activitie which have erved to heighten the vi ibility of Indochina tudie: a work hop on "Gender and Kin hip in Indochina" held at EA I in 19 7; a panel on new data ource for the tud of po trevolutionary Indochine e ocietie held at the 1987 meeting of • Tob Alice Volkman, an anthropologi t, IV at the Council a tafT to the joint commillees on uth A ia and utheast A ia. In January and February 19 he visited Indochina as part of a Council delegaLon exploring scholarl cooperation.

Openings for scholarly cooperation Mo t exciting, however, ha been the po the first time ince 1975 of direct contact with Vietnam, Lao , and Kampuchea (as Cambodia now i known~ Encouraged by the gradually improving political c1imate, the Council ent program a ociate Mary McDo& nell to Vietnam in 19 6, and to Vietnam, Lao . and Kampuchea in 19 7.

for cientific Research. The latter two organization expre ed great interest in e tabli hing relation with the U.. National Academy of Science.

The meeting took place at a moment when ignificant change are occurring throughout Vietname e econom , ociety, and public di cour e. The 6th Party Congre in December 1986 i ued a highly elfcritical report on the problems facing the country.

Thi ha generated an atmo phere in which government official and the people in general are exhorted to engage in "renewal of mind," a well a the "renovation" of the ociety and the economy. "Renewal and renovation," which are today part of everyday di cour e, are to be accompli hed in part through a new openne to wider world : an openne on many level from economic (a new foreign inve tment law wa approved in December 1987) to intellectual, reflected in the commitment to develop cholarly communication and cooperation with capitali t countrie .

In this context, the ocial science have begun to a ume an increasingly important role in Vietnam. Broadly defined to include anthropology, hi tory, language , literature, and philo ophy, as well a other ocial science, these discipline are valued as mean of under tanding both Vietnam and the larger context of Southea t Asia and the world beyond. The de ire to learn from We tern holar wa evident not ju t among natural cienti ts but also among the anthropologi ts, economists, and hi torian with whom we spoke.

On behalf of the Council, our delegation emphaized the importance for the West of under tanding Vietnam not merely a the "other" in America' war or national trauma, but on its own term ; not a changele and di crete image on American televiion, but a a ociety with a long and often turbulent hi tory, a ociety of cultural and ethnic complexity (with 54, by official count, di tinct ethnic group ), and a ociety undergoing rapid change.

The e complementary interests-building on the groundwork laid in previou meeting -made it po ible for the Council delegation and repre entative of the Vietnam Committee for the Social Science to initial a letter of intent (in Engli hand Vietname e) to promote cholarly cooperation ( ee photograph above).

The Vietnam Committee for the Social Science ,which repre ent 18 in titute , acted al 0 on behalf of the Mini try of Higher and Vocational Education and the univer itie under that mini try, and the Institute of International Relation of the Foreign Mini try. A similar letter wa initialed by the delegation on behalf of the Council and the Federation of Scientific and Technical A ociation of Ho Chi Minh City.

The JCSEA i currently eeking upport to undertake a range of activitie , including workshop and exchange of both educational material and research scholars. It i likely that exchange will be developed which will involve scholars intere ted in uch fields a archeology, development, ecology, hi tory, and the language and culture of Vietnam. The program envisaged hould make it po ible for American scholars in a range of field to offer lecture or eminars while conducting research in Vietnam, perhap in collaboration with counterparts. Many Vietnamese scholars (and librarie ) have not had acce to major American journals ince 1975; librarie lack not only books but mean of cataloguing or pre ervation. It would al 0 be of value for American scholars to receive Vietname e publication , to have acce to archive and libraries in Vietnam, and to communicate with Vietname e cholars who vi it the United States. The per pective of a Vietname e contemporary hi torian, for example, would be of great interest to tudents and scholar in thi country.

REPORT ENTITLED

"The Ten-Year Outlook"-wa publi hed in March.

Edited by Dean R. Ger tein, National Re earch Council; R. Duncan Luce, Harvard univer ity; Neil J. mel er, univer ity of California, Berkeley; and Sonja Sperlich, National Re earch Council, the report i a publication of the Committee on Ba ic Re earch in the Behavioral and Social Science -a committee of the Commi ion on Behavioral and Social cience and Education (CBASSE), National Re earch Council. The Social Science Re earch Council and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Science (Stanford, California) cosponsored the report with CBASSE. * The major recommendation of the report is that a new national commitment to the behavioral and ocial cience i needed to capitalize on the wide-ranging opportunitie for cientific advances in the e field and on the practical benefits-from reduced drug abu e to improved economic analyse - temming from uch advances.

The report recommend that the nation spend an additional 240 million annually to upport advanced training, re earch technology, data re ource , new center , and inve tigator grant in behavioral and ocial ciences to rever e recent decline in federal funding for uch re earch. Between fi cal year 1972 and 1987, the committee found, federal upport in constant dollar for the behavioral and social cience dropped by 25 per cent. In contra t, federal pending for other field of cience re earch increa ed by 36 per cent in con tant dollars over the same period.

The committee' project was de igned to report on scientific frontier , new re ource needed to develop them, and the "general institutional conditions and upport y tern for behavioral and ocial ciences research." The project was funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute on Aging, the ational Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Mental â&#x20AC;˘ The report i available from the ational Academy Pre for 29.50, prepaid at 2101 Con titution Avenue, N.W., Wa hington, D.C. 20418.

Organization of the report Thi volume i a ucce or to two earlier tudies by the Committee on Ba ic Re earch in the Behavioral and Social Science. In one, Behavioral and Social Science: Fifty Years of Discovery (1986), the committee canned the work of the pa t, identifying specific line of accumulated knowledge and broad hifts in emphasi since the 1933 report of the Pre ident' Re earch Committee on Social Trend , Recent Social Trends. In the other, Behavioral and Social Science Re earch: A National Re ource (1982), the committee con idered particular ca es and pre ented it judgment concerning the pre ent value, ignificance, and ocial utility of ba ic re earch in the e di cipline .

An earlier report by a predece or committee-the o-called "BASS" report, The Behavioral and Social Sciences: Outlook and Needs (1969), was organized along di ciplinary lines. Early in the planning of the pre ent report, it wa decided to empha ize interdi _ ciplinary collaboration and to organize the report by theme.

Chapters 1 through 5 characterize the ub tantive re earch opportunities that lead mo t directly to the recommendation. Chapter 1, "Behavior, Mind, and Brain," focu e on research concerning individual behavioral and mental proces es of en ory perception, memory and learning, cognition, and language.

Chapter 2, "Motivational and Social Contexts of Behavior," con ider affective tate and proces e , the linkages between health, behavior, and ocial context, the cau es and control of violent crime, and the nature of ocial interaction. Chapter 3, "Choice and Allocation," deal with re earch on individual and collective decisions and their consequence in market-ba ed and other economic sy tern , contracts, organizational hierarchies, and occupational ystems.

Chapter 4, "Institutions and Culture," con iders more global and hi torical a peets of ocietyincluding human evolution, demography, moderniza-

25

tion proce es, cience and technology, world trade, and international conflict. Chapter 5, "Methods of Data Collection, Representation, and Analysis," concern methodological re earch which harpen the ob ervational and explanatory powers of the behavioral and ocial ciences.

The la t two chapters of the report step back from the sub tantive pecific to give an overall per pective on the cientific enterpri e and its conditions.

Chapter 6, "The Research Support System," deals with the human, technological, data-generating, and funding resources that shape opportunitie in the behavioral and ocial ciences. This chapter draws together the conelu ion on how to make the support system tronger and more productive. Chapter 7, "Raising the Scientific Yield," summarizes the reearch opportunities and new initiatives that the committee recommend . (Appendix A supplements this chapter with analyses of trends in the scale of federal and private foundation re earch funding.)

The committee believe that this agenda of activitie will go far towards ensuring the vitality and preeminence of the national effort in behavioral and ocial ciences re earch.

The report was presented to the National Science Foundation and other sponsors at a dinner ymposium held at the National Academy of Science on March 9. David L. Sills, executive a ociate, and Robert W. Pearson, staff as ociate, repre ented the Council at the sympo ium.

Publication of working papers The sub tantive recommendations of the repon are ba ed upon some 30 working papers prepared by subcommittees appointed for this purpo e. These working papers will be published in late 19 by the Rus ell Sage Foundation under the editor hip of Me srs. Gerstein, Luce, and Smelser.

Next steps for the Council Implicit in the Council's collaboration in the preparation of this report is the opportunity and the responsibility that it promises for the Council' program.

The substantive priorities outlined in the report are

derived from a canva of the view of many hundred concerned with the ocial cience: CBA SE, the of American cienti ts-the arne con tituency to which Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral the Council attempts to be re pon ive. Accordingly, Science, the Ru ell Sage Foundation, and the the opportunitie pre ented for future Council com- Council. The Council' board at its annual meeting in June 19 8 will con ider way of extending collaboramittee activity will be carefully examined.

Organizationally, the report repre ents a product tion among the four organization who e coopera0 of the collaboration of four national organization tion re ulted in the report.

The Problem of Voice The place and role of the behavioral and social ciences in the administrative arrangements of relevant federal agencies hould be critically reappraised. It is necessary to ensure continuous high-level representation of the scientifIC needs and opportunities in the e fields. The coordination of the e cience and their general advisory roles should be strengthened by establishing a mechanism to coordinate interagency policy on behavioral and ocial ciences research.

One feature of the pre ent ituation that work against the best intere ts and the be t utilization of the behavioral and ocial cience i the way they are ituated within the administrative tructure of federal re earch agencie . If one look to re earch-oriented academic institution , it i cu tomary for faculty member to be affiliated with divi ions of humanitie , phy ical cience, life cience, and social ciences or chool ofbusine ,law, medicine, and other profe sion . (History i located ometime with the ocial science and ometime with the humanitie , and p ychology i located ometime with the life ciences and ometime with the ocial cience .) Thi divi ion permits behavioral and ocial cientists to negotiate effectively the immediate admini trative environments in which they work and, in mo t univer itie , to gain rea on able acce to (and occa ionally to find colleague in) high administrative position .

If one looks at the behavioral and ocial ciences in federal re earch agencie , there i no parallel to academia. For example, the National Science Foundation ha its Directorate for Biological, Behavioral, and ocial Science . The title of the directorate, except for its nonalphabetic equence, sugge ts perhaps a certain degree of parity, but that is not so: the budget for the behavioral and ocial ciences wa about 50 million in fi cal 1987, compared with 200 million for biological re earch. Moreover, ince its inception in 1974, thi directorate has been headed by biologists. There are imilar or even more di proportionate relation hip between biomedical and behavioral and ocial cience re earch in every in titute in the Alcohol, Drug Abu e, and Mental Health Admini tration and ational In titute of Health.

Thi kind of sub umption under related field has led in the pa t-and could lead at orne future date-to mi perception at the highest policy level about the cientific opportunitie and needs of the behavioral and ocial ciences. This problem of misperception is aggravated by the paucity of high-level coordination between agencie of the federal government that fund behavioral and ocial ciences re earch, including the Department of Health and Human Service, Defen e, Labor, Education, Ju tice, Commerce, State, and Hou ing and Urban Development, and independent agencie , e pecially the ational Science Foundation and the Smith onian Institution. To deploy carce re ources wi ely and effectively, there hould be efforts to develop complementary (not, of cour e, monolithic) re earch and funding policy for the behavioral and ocial ciences acro the federal government.

We al 0 tried to get roughl equal number of tho e who had yet to do field work, tho e in the field, and those writing up thi field work-although there has tended to be a predominance of the la t group.

The fir t work hop, arranged at fairly hort notice, wa held in ew York and had a majority of U..ba ed participants. but ince then we have met in Mu lim ocietie -in Tangier in June 19 7, with I tanbul cheduled for June 19 -and the mix ha been much more varied. The organization of the Tangier workhop et the pattern now to be de cribed.

Once we had acceptance from tho e elected, we circulated to all of them a full et of their re earch propo al or de criptions, explained again the general intent of the committee ( ee the March 1986 i ue of Items, page 2-6) and a ked them to write a 1,500 word re pon e to three que tion of the following kind: What doe it mean for individual to "be Mu lim" in the ociety you are intere ted in, and how do the phenomena you are working on reflect thi ? In what way i collective life haped by the fact that the ociety i Mu lim. and how i thi manife ted in public di cmir e? How would you addre these que tion in relation to the propo al other than your own, grouping the e in any way you wi h? This forced everyone to read all the other with orne care and think about how the related to each other, ub tantively, conceptually, and methodologically.

The e ay were reque ted a month or 0 before the work hop. in ufficient time for the e too to be circulated to the whole group before the meeting.

propo al other than their own on the fir t day.

Pre enter were paired with propo al on the ba i of incompatibility rather than compatibility (thu, fughal India with Sadat' Egypt, or non· French intellectual with French intellectual, or political ienti t with anthropologi t), but were a ked to peak with a much empathy and under tanding a the could mu ter. Each uch pre entation wa followed by 15 minute of general di cu ion of the propo ai, in which the author of the propo al wa not permitted to join. All 12 propo al were di cu ed on the fir t day-with compari on involved at lea t ot lea t implicitly-and got everybody talking. important, thi procedure hort·circuited the kind of immediate defen ive-<:orrective re pon e that hear· ing one' own paper di u ed u ually engender .

Mi under tanding, pondered on, can ignal impor. tant thing quite a much a critici m.

On the econd day, we went through the propo al again, grouping them in a more related fa hion and thi time allowing author to go fir t, not, however, with a imple re·pre entation of their re earch, but with an effort to di cu it a productively a po ible in the light of earlier comment and com pari on , now 24 relatively calming hour afterward. Again, half an hour each got u through the whole et of 12, and produced orne wonderfully lively di cu ion and debate.

In thi connection, it became evident that many parti ipant were intere ted in proce e of mainte· nance or con truction of "Mu lim identity," a the social actor they were concerned with drew upon and reworked I lamic idiom or in titution in a great \"ariet' of context. John Han on, a hi torian from Michigan tate Univer ity working in Mali, wa analyzing the way in which Senegambian migrant into late 19th century Karta re tated the idea of jihad to ju tif warfare again t earlier Mu lim ettler. In a quite different ituation, Davida Wood, a Princeton anthropologi t doing re earch among Arab Mu lim in I rael, wa exploring the relation hip between secular and religiou di cour e directed toward the re tatement of Pale tinian identit in the context of the Zioni t di cour e of the tate. A imilar concern with the role played by the modern tate wa the focu of the tudy of current pr ce e of "I lamiza· tion" in Paki tan, b Jamal Malik, a p litical cienti t at the Univer ity of Heidelberg.

On the third day, we u ed onl the morning. Fir t we broke the group into two, for an hour and a half, to con truct among them elve a chema, or thematic framework, or y tern of thinking about the relation· hip among the propo al and the po ibilitie, if any, for fruitful com pari on. We then reconvened the full group and each half pre ented its re pective (and, a it turned out, rather different) overall reflection for general di cu ion.

Throughout the proceeding, except for the two mall group e ion on the third morning, the entire committee wa pre ent, but had previou 1 agreed to enter di cu ion onl if it felt compelled to, for fear of warn ping the tudent or of being over·directive.

In fact, by the third day we were all pretty mu h talking on equal term , and the committee arguing among them elve quite a much a the tudent.

And of cour e, a on all occa ion of thi kind, much wa exchanged during coffee break, at meal, and around the wimming pool, with, one u pected, tudent often getting more eriou attention than they normally received in their home in titution .

At the end of the meeting (which concluded with a free day on which we all joined in a tour to pIa e of intere t), we a ked participant to end u a letter with their reflection on the ub tance, po ible impact, and organization of the work hop, wa it might be im· pro ed, and way to maintain contact. The re pon e were very rich and heart warming. The di u ion were extremely inten e, ju t about ever one wanted to tay in touch, people became much more con iou of variation in intellectual and interpretive approach than they had imagined p ible, and di covered va t new topic and intere t . And both the value and the problem of comparative tudy had become much more clearl recognized.

We are now engaged in producing what we hope will be a erie of mode t new letter, which in addi· tion to brief ummarie of the project di cu ed in the fir t two work hop, will contain the current ad· dre e of all participant, and report from mo t of them on the progre of their re earch or ub equent work. The general purpo e, of trying to build a net· work of people who, early in their career , have had a chance to think eriou ly about their own work in the context of comparable re earch in other Mu lim ocietie , in other time and place , and often from within quite different analytical tradition, eem to be working, and enthu ing everyone involved.

and International Issues in Mexico's Security." Tho e participants at the second annual conference who gave pre entations on Mexican security will revi e and develop their original presentations. They will pre ent paper on broad aspects of Mexican ecurity including human rights, economic and environmental issue , political transformations in Mexico, and Mexico-Central American relations. Sergio Aguayo, a fellow of the program, and Bruce Bagley, University of Miami, have agreed to serve as editors of a planned volume of the conference papers. The workshop will be held in late 1988.

The principal expre sion of the Council's commitment to a broad understanding of ecurity continues to be the SSRC-MacArthur Foundation Fellowships in International Peace and Security. After three years, 79 dis ertation and postdoctoral fellowships have been awarded. De criptions of the projects of the mo t recent recipients of the fellow hip are given on pages 59-60. The deadline for the next competition is October 3, 1988. For further information and application materials, addre the Program in International Peace and Security Studies at the Council.

New bulletin on public culture The Joint Committee on South Asia is sponsoring a new bulletin on public culture to be publi hed by the Public Culture Project at the University of Pennsylvania.

The bulletin will report and reflect current research on the cultural transformations as ociated with cities, media, and consumption in contemporary societies and the cultural flows that draw these societies into larger transnational dialogues.

The bulletin has three goals: • To e tablish an international network of scholars committed to re earch on public culture issues and debates, and on cosmopolitan cultural forms (such as cinema, sport, television and video, restaurants, domestic tourism, and museums) • To publish excerpts from ongoing cholarly work, news clippings, and media material • To announce recent publications, and to encourage network members to facilitate their acquisition or exchange, particularly across national boundaries, for colleagues who have problems with foreign currency Research scholars interested in joining this network and receiving a copy of the Public Culture Bulletin should end their name, address, research interests, and recent relevant publications to Carol 35

liThe Population of the United States in the 1980s" Six new Census monographs in this series published so far this year DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1988, ix new books in the erie "The Population of the United tate in the 1980" were published under the pon or hip of the Council's Committee for Re earch on the 1980 Census, chaired by Charles F. Westoff, Princeton University.

Thi eries repre ents an important epi ode in 0cial ience re earch and revives a long tradition of independent cen us analysis. First in 1930, and then again in 1950 and 1960, teams of social cienti t worked with the U.S. Bureau of the Census to inve ligate ignificant social, economic, and demographic de\'elopment revealed by the decennial censu es.

These Cen us projects produced three landmark eries of tudie , providing a firm foundation and etting a high tandard for the pre ent undertaking.

There i , in fact, more than a theoretical continuity between the earlier Cen u project and the pre ent one. Like the previou efforts, this new Censu project ha benefited from clo e cooperation between the Cen u Bureau and a distingui hed, interdi ciplinary group of cholar. Like the 1950 and 1960 research projects, re earch on the 1980 Censu wa initiated by the Council and the Rus ell Sage Foundation. In deciding once again to promote a coordinated program of Census analy i, Ru ell ge and the Council were mindful not only of the \'ere budgetary re trictions impo ed on the Census Bureau' own publishing and dis emination activitie in the 19 0 , but aloof the extraordinary change that have occurred in 0 many dimen ions of merican life over the pa t two decade .

The tudie con tituting "The Population of the United tate in the 1980 " were planned, commi . ned, and monitored by the committee, which i ponsored by the Council, the Ru ell Sage Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, with the collaboration of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. It the committee' task to elect the main topic for research, obtain highly qualified peciali ts to carry out that re earch, and provide the tructure nece to facilitate coordination among re earchers and ·th the Cen u Bureau.

All of the books are publi hed by the Ru ell Sage Foundation, 112 Ea t 64th Street, New York, New ork 10021.

The temporal focu of the e com pari ons i primarily the period from 1960 through 1980, although in many ca es data back to 1940 and earlier are included.

Finally, they attempt to de cribe differential within the American population. They are concerned with differential rate of family tran ition , and differential trend among major population ubgroup.

During the 1970 , everal triking population hifts attracted wide pread attention and colorful journalistic labels. Urban gentrification, the rural renai ance, the ri e of the unbelt-the e phenomena signaled major rever als in long-term pattern of population di tribution. In Regional and Metropolitan Growth and Decline in the United tate, author Frey and Speare place uch rever als in context by examining a rich array of cen u data.

The author al 0 provide an in-depth look at the changing race, tatu, and hou ehold demographic of the nation' large t citie and discu the broad ocietal force precipitating uch change . Frey and Speare conclude that the 1970 repre ent a "tran ition decade" in the hi tory of population di tribution and that pattern now emerging do not ugge t a return to the pa t. The volume offer an unmatched picture of regional growth and decline acro the United State.

This volume began with two sympo ia held in 1977 and 1978. The fir t, a workshop on "The Pur uit Intere t in China," wa held in August 1977 at the Univer ity of Michigan, and was organized by Michel Ok enberg, University of Michigan, and Richard Baum, Univer ity of California, Lo Angele. It supported by a grant from the Joint Committee OR Contemporary China, u ing funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Its principal goal was to u e detailed ca e tudie to explore the relevance of intere t group approache to the tudy of Chine e politic. The econd, a panel organized the editor for the 1978 Chicago meeting of the As ociation of Asian Studie, ought to apply participatory approaches to the role of ocial grou in the Chine e political proce s. The triking degree of overlap in the focu , methodology, and participants in both meeting sugge ted to a number of the paper writers that there wa a need for a more eclectic approach which would focus imultaneo on individual and group actors. The recognition that a volume ba ed on such an approach might erve needs of students and cholar eeking to C'AdUIUIIII: ' the dynamics of informal influence and power in China was the stimulus for publi hing the stu . pre ented here in book form.

Three of the chapters in the current volume originally drafts prepared for the 1977 two were initially presented at the 1978 meeting Chicago. All have been revi ed to take account of dramatic revelations of the po t-Mao year.

Early modern India under the Mughal evolved a powerful uniform currency and monetary order.

Like the state that created it, the Mughal monetary system wa perva ive, flexible, and long-lived. One indication of this i the heer number and wide distribution of coins in circulation or retained in private and public coffer . Equally remarkable i the fact that this enormou mint output occurred, over two centurie , in a region lacking any ignificant silver and gold, and only limited amount of copper.

This volume of even e ay by di tingui hed economic historian had its origin in a conference pon ored by the Joint Committee on South A ia, held in 1981 at the National Humanitie Center, Re earch Triangle Park, North Carolina. The conference brought together hi torian of the Mughal empire, hi torians of trade and the East India companies, and numi matists tudying Mughal and I lamic coinage. U ing Per ian, Engli h, French, and Dutch ource, the e ay in the re ulting volume con titute the mo t comprehen ive tudy of the imperial Mughal monetary y tern in its economic, ocial, and political a pect .

Recent turbulence in South Africa make the tudy of its raciall divided ocial order and its national and ethnic heterogeneity an urgent intellectual and political ta k. For much of the 20th century, an exclu ive form of white Afrikaner nationali m, with its explicit objective the capture of the tate by the white Afrikaner "nation," ha confronted it counterpart, a pan-South African black nationalism which ha ought the incorporation of African into the body politic. The exclu ivi m of Afrikaner Chri tian Nationali m with its roots in late 19th century European nationali m ha been confronted by a black nationali m, which de pite trong Africanist underpinning ,ha in general e pou ed the 19th century liberal value of multiraciali m. Moreover, the alience of "national" and "racial" identity for South African tate policie and its deliberate manipulation of group difference to prevent interracial cla olidarity have haped the ethnic con ciousne of minority group uch a Coloured or Indian which have in turn con tructed their own en e of community, in part by way of re pon e.

Given the complexity of political con ciou ne and community con truction in 20th century outh Africa, it would be impo sible for any collection of 46

e ay to provide anything like comprehen ive coverage. Neverthele ,the range of thi volume is con iderable. In the introduction Shula Mark and Stanley Trapido provide the hi torical and hi toriographical context of the collected e ay, and how their connection through providing a new ynthesis of 20th century South African hi tory into which they have woven orne of the main in ights contained in the e ay.

Following the introduction, a number of chapten addre the i ue of ethnic boundary making and the con truction of nationali t ideologie and political con ciou ne in the context of South Africa' changing political economy and cla compo mon ince the era of the mineral di coverie in the late 19th century. Saul Dubow trace the evolution of a hegemonic egregaiioni t ideology in late 19th century/early 20th century outh Africa and is followed b I abel Hofmeyr who analyze the "construction" of Afrikaner culture in the same period. Iri Berger explore the cla con ciou n of white women worker in the Garment Worker' Union a an alternative to Afrikaner nationalist identification which nonethele did not wholly e cape the raci m in titutionalized by the tate. Ian Goldin look at the tate's intervention in the definition of Coloured ethnic identity, while Maureen Swann looks at two moment in the radicalizatioa of Indian political movements in outh Africa.

The e four chapter are followed by a clu ter e ays on the making of African nationali t con io\Jlo ne : Robert Hill and Gregory Pi rio examine the of Garveyi m in the creation of an t ..,,··.,n••" ideology which permeated all black political zation in the 1920; Colin Bund di cu relation hip of nationali ts and radical to agrarian que tion; William Beinart con ider relation hip of migrant worker to rural ocial urban political network; and Tom Lodge u e a tudy of urban political conflict to examine regionally differentiated nature of African i m in the 1950.

practices and religious beliefs, on the one hand, and variou types of social organization-hou ehold, family ex role, lineage, community, and the stateon the other. The di cu ions of Confucianism and ancestor wor hip, hamani m, Buddhism, and divination show that although Confucianism has heavily influenced ociety, the ways in which cu toms and belieÂŁ: changed, and did not change, make Korea an interesting and important field for comparativists a well as for peciali ts on China and Japan.

Three widespread a sumptions inform the scholarly literature about pea ants and agrarian rebels.

First, it is generally agreed that the incorporation of predominandy peasant territories into the modern capitalist world economy has had a de tructive impact on pea ant life. Second, it is held that the penetration of capitali m accentuate the internal differentiation of pea ant society into rich and poor trata. Third, it is thought that the political re olution of agrarian conflict and crisis had a trong, even decisive, impact on the modern political history of countrie with an important pea ant tradition.

47

Drawing on the e view , but al 0 challenging them at points, the e ay in thi volume provide evidence of greater capacity among pea ants to re i t or urvive the de tructive effects of capitalist development than might be expected from the literature.

The Andean pea ants are een a formidable political actor in their own right, who have initiated political relation among them elve a well as with other ocial group. The volume al 0 ca ts new light on the election of appropriate time frame and units of analy i for the tudy of Andean rebellion , for the and political diver ity of pea ant con ciou ne activitie , and on the importance of ethnic factor 10 explaining pea ant con ciou ne and revolt.
