Handbook of Sociology edited by NEIL J. SMELSER, University of California, Berkeley

The Handbook of Sociology ushers in a new age of sociological thought and practice. This long awaited volume synthesizes the field. It provides an original and comprehen- sive look at this vital discipline- that has not had a new handbook in 25 years.. years in which sociology as a field of study and practice has undergone significant change. Eminent scholars representing both micro and macro perspectives combine their expertise to address the diversity, growth, and new developments that characterize the field of sociology today.

Smelser, one of the leading sociologists of our time, introduces the Handbook with a reflective and insightful essay on the historical developments within the field, the status of sociology as a discipline, and the future of the profession. The first set of essays offers definitive statements on theoretical and methodological principles (Wallace, Alexan- der, Smelser, Rossi, and Berk). Inequality, institutional and organizational settings, and social process and change are each examined at length by experts in such subfields as work and labor (Granovetter and Tilly, and Miller), race and ethnicity (See and Wilson), aging (Riley, Foner, and Waring), environments and organizations (Aldrich and Marsden), family (Huber and Spitze), medical (Cockerham), world economy (Evans and Stephens) and more! Offering incomparable depth and breadth, the Handbook of Sociology effectively synthesizes the complex and controversial issues that surround the discipline of sociology.

"I have had occasion to read carefully through almost every one of these chapters. Reflecting Professor SSmelser's tasteful coordination, they are a remarkable collection of ideas and reflection. Never in recent years have Ifelt so excited by the insights and potential of work in such diverse areas of our discipline. If you were to buy only one book this year, youjustJound it a powerful review, critique and reconceptualization of the state-of-the-art; more, an exhilarating look into thefulure."

fra X mom Sage POLITICAL LEADERSHIP

by JEAN BLONDEL, European University Institute, Florence

National political leaders are the most recognized and talked about elements of political life. Considering the importance of political leadership, there has been surprisingly little comparative analysis of the phenomenon. In this highly innovative work, Professor Blondel defines leadership, examines per- sonal sources of power, analyzes political instruments available to leaders, and dicusses the relationship between leaders and citizens. He also catego- rizes leaders by their activities, goals, and the constraints and opportunities they face. This major comparative study will provide fascinating insights for scholars and students of comparative politics. CONTENTS: Introduction / 1. What is Political Leadership and How Can It Be Assessed? / 2. The Role of Political Leadership Past and Present / 3. A Conceptual Assessment of the Impact of Political Leaders / 4. The Influence of Personal Character- istics on Political Leadership / 5. The Influence of Institutions on Political Leadership/ 6. The Future of the Study of Political Leadership / Conclusion

POLITICS AND SOCIETY IN WESTERN EUROPE

by JAN-ERIK LANE & SVANTE 0. ERSSON, University of UMEA, Sweden

This comprehensive text describes and analyzes the major political systems of Western Europe, their party systems, and the decision-making institutions of government. Lane and Ersson first present an overview of the theory of comparative politics and political sociology. They then use wide-ranging empirical data on European politics to test key theoretical ideas. They discuss the political and social reasons for the diverse experiences of West- ern European countries since 1945, and analyze the crucial question of political stability. The authors argue that institutional arrangements and political stability are not solely determined by social structure. They explain Western European political systems in terms of social cleavages: class, ethnicity, regional iden- tity, and religion. Instructors will find this book ideal for courses in European government and comparative politics.

PROPOSALS THAT WORK A Guide for Planning Dissertations

and Grant Proposals by LAWRENCE F. LOCKE, Uniuersity of Massachusetts, Arnherst,

WANEEN WYRICK SPIRDUSO & STEPHEN SIlVERMAN, both at Uniwiersity of Texas, Austin

The central concept of this practical handbook is that in any type of research, planning, conceptualization, rigorous attention to the details of design, and careful anticipation of potential hazards are more important than the actual execution of research. Thus, knowing how to plan and how to communicate these plans effectively is an essential part of the skills to be developed by graduate students and novice researchers. This is a book about how to plan research -specifically, about how to prepare effective research proposals for graduate theses and dissertations.

SUPERPOWER DETENTE: A REAPPRAISAL by MIKE BOWKER, Queens University, Belfast & PHIL WILLIAMS, University of Southampton Published for the Royal Institute of International Affairs

As the superpowers move once again toward a more open and cooperative relationship, supporters as well as skeptics of detente question its efficacy and durability. Have the superpowers learned from the failure of detente in the 1970s? Is detente possible in the nuclear age?

The early 1970s had seen the most far-reaching moves toward detente since the inception of the Cold War. But, Bowker and Williams suggest that the coinci- dence of interests between the superpowers hid divergent conceptions of what detente was and what kind of behavior it required. Superpower Detente: A Reappraisal firstexamines the superpowers' differinginterpretations of detente and the history of their interests in detente. After considering the impact of events in the Middle East, the volume goes on to discuss the competition in Angola and the Horn of Africa and concludes that it was not the competition but Soviet success in the competition which helped to sour detente. Bowker and Williams analyze the Soviet and American domestic debates over detente and conclude that the major shift in attitude occurred in Washington rather than Moscow. Finally, the authors suggest that the detente experience of the 1970s has some lessons for the future success of the new detente of the 1980s.
