"This collection of Lipset's major essays in political sociology is in a real sense a follow-up or sequel to Political Mind and The First New Nation. It provides a broad panorama of continuing interest, developing a sociological perspective in comparative and historical analysis, with particular reference to politics, modernization, and social stratification. Robert E. Scott in The Midwest Journal of Political Science, said ""this book has an essential unity. The subjects discussed are interesting and important to the political scientists and the observations offered stimulating and significant. Both the student and the mature scholar can benefit."" Professor Lipset describes this collection of his major essays in political sociology, as ""in a real sense a follow-up or sequel to Political Man and The First New Nation. This volume provides a broad panorama of continuing interest, developing a sociological perspective in comparative and historical analysis, with particular reference to politics, modernization, and social stratification. The opening section of the book contains, in addition to a valuable new introductory chapter, essays that interpret varying levels of socioeconomic development in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Other essays deal with such matters as the contrasting modes of modernization in Europe and Asia, the role of values and religious beliefs in the emergence of political systems, the effect of religion on American politics from the founding of the Republic to the present. A concluding section analyzes major works of political sociology in the light of contemporary ideas. Many chapters have been revised to include recent data. Seymour Martin Lipset is Munro Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Sociology at Stanford University, and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace."--

It didn't happen here : why socialism failed in the United States by Seymour Martin Lipset( Book )

18 editions published between 2000 and 2001 in English and held by 1,380 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"This work sheds light on the chief factors that explain the failure of socialists to establish a durable party in the United States and provides greater insights into American society and politics. Drawing on rich contrasts with other industrialized countries and extensive comparisons within the United States at the state and city level, the authors eschew conventional explanations of socialism's demise to present a fuller understanding of how multiple factors - American values, political structure, and the split between the Socialist party and mainstream unions - combined to seal socialism's fate. Further chapters examine the distinctive character of American trade unions, immigration and the fragmentation of the American working class, Socialist strategies, and repression, concluding with a penetrating analysis of American political exceptionalism up to the present day."--Jacket

American exceptionalism : a double-edged sword by Seymour Martin Lipset( Book )

25 editions published between 1996 and 2001 in English and held by 1,188 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In this timely new study, one of our major political analysts, Seymour Martin Lipset, explores the deeply held but often inarticulated beliefs that shape America's society and thought. Is this country in the throes of a revolution from the right? Is it in decline morally? Is Japan about to replace us as the leading economic power? Why does the United States have the highest crime rate, the most persons per capita in prison? Why is our electoral turnout so low? Why are we the most open, socially mobile society and the most unequally developed nation in income distribution? Why is America the most religious country in Christendom? What explains our persistently high rate of opposition to wars and, conversely, our propensity for flag waving and expressions of patriotic enthusiasm? As the 1996 election year begins, Professor Lipset examines the remarkable persistence of an American creed, a double-edged sword that provides both good and bad, offering fresh insights into our culture and its future

The Berkeley student revolt : facts and interpretations by Seymour Martin Lipset( Book )

23 editions published between 1964 and 1991 in English and held by 1,024 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The student revolt on the Berkeley campus of the University of California, which began in September 1964 and lasted until the next January, is unprecedented in American university history. One of the world's largest and most famous centers of learning was brought to the edge of collapse, and the implications extended far beyond the locale--both because the University of California has often been regarded as a prototype of the future form of public education and because of what was revealed about a new generation of students. In this volume two professors of political science at Berkeley, themselves in disagreement over the meaning of the revolt, have tried to assemble as wide a range of significant views--from participants on both sides and outside observers--as possible. They have also provided a detailed chronology of events and a generous sampling of the manifestos, pamphlets, broadsides, and statements--again, from both sides--that were distributed during the disturbance. Several of the essays were commissioned for this book and have not appeared elsewhere. -- Back cover
