Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there is a-"desert island" book in the conduct of social research, it is arguably this book. Whether in terms of sociological structures or psychological nuances, Communism, Conformity, and Civil Liberties, originally published in 1955, is a recognized landmark. Stouffer helped strengthen the fundamental liberties of all Americans by showing dangerous consequences of efforts to thwart a perceived Communist conspiracy, including some of the very real liberties that can be destroyed in the process of a witch-hunt. Stouffer explores attitudes of Americans against a backdrop of a history of intolerance that dates back to the Know-Nothing party before the Civil War and extending through the Ku Klux Klan after World War I. The overall results show a markedly strong relationship between perception of high national risk and personal intolerance of differences, and also the perception of threat and tolerance that operates as a predisposing tendency that affects judgments about specific political movements and events. Stouffer enriches the sense and meaning of survey research by emphasizing patterns of percentages rather than actual amounts; survey craftsmanship; the use of paired sampling techniques to reduce problems of chance; the importance of completion rates in survey research work; the importance of interruptions during a questioning period; the choice of field workers in performing the surveys. The actual survey instruments are included as prepared by the National Opinion Research Center and the Gallup Organization. They remain a model for large-scale samples of this kind. The beautiful, highly personal, introduction by James Davis places Stouffer in an appropriate academic and professional context. Stouffer was a great sociologist with two landmark efforts to his credit: The American Soldier and then Communism, Conformity and Civil Liberties. Professor Davis calls this "a great classic of empirical sociology." It is

CHAPTER TWO ATTEMPT AT THE PSYCHOANALYSIS OF ANARCHIST COMMUNISM Anarchism leads to communism and communism to anarchism. P. Kropotkin. The communist state which would be brought into existence by the proletarian revolution, would be nothing else than a titanic system of landed proprietorship, embracing all the land in the country. A. Daniel, 1910. A state which should undertake the comprehensive care of all members of the population on equal terms.. '. would be the most complete renewal of the matriarchal type of community of primitive days. E. Lorenz. I Definitions BEFORE we attempt the psychoanalysis of anarchist communism, we must explain what we understand by the term, and must forestall a number of possible misunderstandings. Many believe that anarchism, as extreme individualism, and communism, as extreme socialism, are polar opposites. Some assume that these poles come in contact, in virtue of the principle that extremes meet. This view is erroneous. It would be superfluous to expound here the problems of individualism and socialism. Enough to refer to the trends of anarchism and communism as ordinarily understood and as enunciated by their most distinguished advocates. Anarchism demands the abolition, not only of dominion, despotism, authority forcibly exercised over the individual, but in general of laws, regulations, and restrictions. Communism does not imply the maximum of social cooperation, but the direct psychical fusion of individuals in a manner that would annihilate all partitions between them. Why, then, does one aim involve the other? Anarchism wishes to abolish rules and restrictions. Should this be effected, there would necessarily ensue a war of all against all, the absolute dissolution of the community. But this is...
Download or read book Representing Communism After the Fall written by Cristian Tileagă and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the contribution of discursive psychology and discourse analysis to researching the relationship between history and collective memory. Analysing significant manifestations of the moral vocabulary of the Romanian transition from communism to democracy, the author demonstrates how discursive psychology can be used to understand some of the enduring and persistent dilemmas around the legacy of communism. This book argues that an understanding of language as an action-oriented, world-building resource can fill an important gap in the theorizing of public controversies over individual and collective meaning of the recent (communist) past. The author posits that discursive social psychology can serve as an intellectual and empirical bridge that can overcome several of the difficulties faced by researchers working in transitional justice studies and cognate fields. This reflective book will appeal to students and scholars of transitional justice, discursive psychology, memory studies, and the sociology of change.
Download or read book Communism on the Decline written by George C. Guins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communist dictatorship rests not only on a police regime supported by terror. As this writer tried to explain in his previous work, Soviet Law and Soviet Society, the Communist regime is founded to a large degree on the economic dependence of all citizens on the State, as an universal monopolist and a single employer. It is impossible to support such a regime by means of coercion only. Communism tries therefore to impress people with its achievements and to suggest great expectations. It declares itself infallible and invincible. The decay of Communism starts when its achievements cease to satisfy people, when its promises do not raise enthusiasm, and its infallibility becomes exposed; when people begin to understand that the Communist philosophy is based on illusions and its regime is vicious and despotic. When this occurs then coercion proves to be more and more inefficient, and it becomes more and more difficult to secure the people's support. The government begins to feel that the roles are changed and that it is the govern ment which depends on the people rather than the people on the government.

Download or read book The Social Psychology of Social Movements Psychology Revivals written by Hans Toch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social movements that Professor Toch examines in this book, originally published in 1966, range from the Black Muslims to food faddists, and the founders of these movements range from Hitler to Joan of Arc. Why do people join social movements? How do such movements serve the needs of their members, and what unique social problems do they cause? What are the typical consequences of membership? What gives rise to social movements, and how can we evaluate them? In The Social Psychology of Social Movements Hans Toch provides answers to these questions. It is impossible to avoid in a study of this sort the universal human implications of social movements, the latent tragedy and despair which involvement in such collective action implies. The humour, adversity and pathos is equally evident in many of the examples which Professor Toch describes. But he provides a sympathetic objectivity, and is at pains to provide a systematic psychological survey of large, ideologically orientated groups and their members in general.

This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative analysis of value and identity changes in several post-Soviet countries. In light of the tremendous economic, social and political changes in former communist states, the authors compare the values, attitudes and identities of different generations and cultural groups. Based on extensive empirical data, using quantitative and qualitative methods to study complex social identities, this book examines how intergenerational value and identity changes are linked to socio-economic and political development. Topics include the rise of nationalist sentiments, identity formation of ethnic and religious groups and minorities, youth identity formation and intergenerational value conflicts.

Download or read book From Communists to Foreign Capitalists written by Nina Bandelj and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Communists to Foreign Capitalists explores the intersections of two momentous changes in the late twentieth century: the fall of Communism and the rise of globalization. Delving into the economic change that accompanied these shifts in central and Eastern Europe, Nina Bandelj presents a pioneering sociological treatment of the process of foreign direct investment (FDI). She demonstrates how both investors and hosts rely on social networks, institutions, politics, and cultural understandings to make decisions about investment, employing practical rather than rational economic strategies to deal with the true uncertainty that plagues the postsocialist environment. The book explores how eleven postsocialist countries address the very idea of FDI as an integral part of their market transition. The inflows of foreign capital after the collapse of Communism resulted not from the withdrawal of states from the economy, as is commonly expected, but rather from the active involvement of postsocialist states in institutionalizing and legitimizing FDI. Using a wide array of data sources, and combining a macro-level account of national variation in the liberalization to foreign capital with a micro-level account of FDI transactions in the decade following the collapse of Communism in 1989, the book reveals how social forces not only constrain economic transformations but also make them possible. From Communists to Foreign Capitalists is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the social processes that shape economic life.
