The first new Nation : the United States in historical and comparative perspective by
Seymour Martin Lipset(
Book
)
75 editions published between 1963 and 2017 in 3 languages and held by 2,004 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The United States was the first major colony to revolt successfully against colonial rule. In this sense, it was the first "new nation." To see how, in the course of American history, its values took shape in institutions may help us to understand some of the problems faced by the new nations emerging today on the world scene. In The First New Nation, two broad themes occupy Seymour Martin Lipset's attention: the social conditions that make a stable democracy possible, and the extent to which the American experience was representative or exceptional. The volume is divided into three parts, each of which deals with the role of values in a nation's evolution, but each approaches this role from a different perspective. Part 1, "America as a New Nation," compares early America with today's emerging nations to discover problems common to them as new nations, and analyzes some of the consequences of a revolutionary birth for the creation of a national character and style. Part 2, "Stability in the Midst of Change," traces how values derived from America's revolutionary origins have continued to influence the form and substance of American institutions. Lipset concentrates on American history in later periods, selecting for discussion as critical cases religious institutions and trade unions. Part 3, "Democracy in Comparative Perspective," attempts to show by comparative analysis some ways through which a nation's values determine its political evolution. It compares political development in several modern industrialized democracies, including the United States, touching upon value patterns, value differences, party systems, and the bases of social cleavage."--Provided by publisher

"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.

It didn't happen here : why socialism failed in the United States by
Seymour Martin Lipset(
Book
)
19 editions published between 2000 and 2001 in English and held by 1,374 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
)
27 editions published between 1996 and 2001 in English and Chinese and held by 1,183 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
)
22 editions published between 1964 and 1991 in English and held by 1,040 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
