Oxford University Press Devolution Vernon Bogdanor 'If one were ever doubtful of the utility of academic political science because of the fashionable tendency to obscure analysis and argument with a plethora of tables and diagrams one's faith would be restored by Vernon Bogdanor's excellent book. He has managed to bring to bear on a highly topical subject learning which is genuine and which can be read with ease and even pleasure by any serious citizen.'

Industrial Politics Robert Currie This study illustrates the influence of ideas on the growth, character, and policy of organized labour in Britain, where in contrast to countries such as Germany and Japan utilitarian liberal-democratic individualism has profoundly influenced industrialization. Management and labour disliked the collectivism that challenged laissez-faire orthodoxy in the late Victorian era, and sought a corporatist compromise between the old ideology and the new. ?10
America in Vietnam Guenter Lewy This is the first systematic analysis of the Vietnam War. It provides a dispassionate, fully-researched history of the course of the war, American strategy and tactics, the travail of Vietnamization, and the causes of the final collapse, and also examines the question of American 'guilt'. The first part of the book is a complete survey of American involvement in Vietnam, and the second part is about the political and social significance of the war itself. ?9.50
Restraints on War Studies in the Limitation of Armed Conflict Michael Howard Wars between civilized communities have always been subject, at least in principle, to certain controls and constraints. These studies trace attempts to keep the conduct of war within reasonable bounds, from the great days of the Hague and Geneva Conventions to the contemporary discussions on how to limit wars fought with nuclear weapons. ?6.50

Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future JOHN DUNN In this book, John Dunn questions whether the accepted political values of our society actually make sense. He examines how they have come to be accepted, and shows that the major traditions of thought from which they have emerged are all, in the light of recent world history, in crucial respects incoherent or flawed.

Participation and Political Equality A Seven Nation Comparison SIDNEY VERBA, NORMAN H. NIE, and JAE-ON KIM In this survey of political participation in seven nations - Nigeria, Austria, Japan, India, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, and the United States - the authors examine the relationship between social, economic, and educational factors and political participation. They consider why participation in some nations is distributed evenly across economic, social, and educational lines whereas other nations foster participation only by their privileged classes. ?14.50 net
Marxian Political Economy An Outline
JAMES BECKER This book reconstructs Marxian economic theory and applies it to the current phase of development of advanced capitalism. It utilises scientific and pedagogical devices familiar in standard economics. It differs, however, from 'radical' economics in that it builds in simple, straightforward fashion from the labour theory of value. The result is authentic, rather than neo-Marxian, economics. ?12.00 net
States and Social Revolutions A Comparative Analysis of France, Russia and China
THEDA SKOCPOL In this challenging book Professor Skocpol shows how state structures, international forces and class relations combine to explain the origins and achievements of social revolutions. She develops a rigorous, comparative analysis of the French, Russian and Chinese Revolutions, treating them as fundamentally similar instances of a single pattern of socio-revolutionary transformation.

In a Moment of Enthusiasm Political Power and the Second Stratum in Egypt
LEONARD BINDER In this pioneering study, Binder attempts not only to establish the existence and coherent structure of the Egyptian rural middle class, but to describe empirically its political size and power. On the basis of his findings, he presents an interpretation of Egypt's political system under Nasser and his successors. ?15.75

coming soon in paperback A Framework A Systems
for Political Analysis of
Analysis Political Life by DAVID EASTON
The first volume of David Easton's projected tetralogy, The Political System, appealed successfully to political scientists to place more emphasis on theory useful for empirical research. A Framework for Political Analysis presented a structure within which a theory of political life can be cast. In A Systems Analysis of Political Life, Easton uses the logically integrated set of categories developed in A Framework to analyse the fundamental processes of a political system. New prefaces explore some of the changes that have occurred in political science during the 1970s. A Framework for Political Analysis ?2.45. A System Analysis of Political Life ?5.85

by Carole Pateman, Department of Government, University of Sydney.
It is usually taken for granted that, in liberal democracies, a bond of political 'obligation' exists between the citizens and the state. The substantive, and controversial, argument of this book is that political obligation constitutes an insoluble problem in the liberal demo- cratic state. It is argued that the problem can be solved only within the context of a participatory democratic system. In reaching this conclusion Carole Pateman offers a general critique of liberal theories and an interpretation of all the familiar arguments and theories about political obligation and demo- cratic consent. Current controversies about 'democracy' and political oblig- ation are fully discussed in the light of both philosophical arguments and em- pirical evidence from research in political science. The book has major themes arising from the various re- lationships to the state of the working class and the middle class, and of men and women, and also from the nature and character of political obligation. The difference between 'obligation', a vol- untary moral commitment of the in- dividual, and 'obedience' is analysed and a distinction is drawn between obligation and consent, consent and social contrast, and between a liberal, vertical conception of political oblig- ation and a democratic, horizontal conception. Students and teachers of political science will find in this text a broad and knowledgeable survey and critique of classical theories (Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau) and more recent developments (Hegel, Rawls) relating to political obligation and democracy, together with evidence from political research. Students and enlightened observers of social and political change will be stimulated by the arguments presented here, and by the author's controversial conclusions.

The Foundations of Modern Political
Thought Volume 1: The Renaissance Volume 2: The Age of
Reformation
QUENTIN SKINNER A two-volume study of political thought from the late thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth century, the decisive period of transition from medieval to modern political theory. Professor Skinner here provides a presentation and justification of a particular approach to the interpretation of historical texts. '. . .his sureness of step and his certainty of direction make him the most reliable of guides.'
Alan Ryan in New Society
'Simply as a work of scholar ship, it is a stunning achieve- ment. Its intellectual control and lucidity never falter. In range and depth of under- standing, no writer on the history of political theory since the great German scholars of the 19th century has matched it.'
