马歇尔计划与战后法国政治中右化

战后,处于“冷战”前沿的法国成了美国重点争取的对象,而法国的共产党势力始终又是美国的心腹大患,美国必欲除之而后快。通过积极插手战后法国内部事务,美国如愿以偿地坐视法国共产党被赶出联合政府。在马歇尔计划的鼓舞下,法国建立了亲美的中右翼政权,法国政治由此开始向右转。美国成功地实现了从政治上对法国的控制。     

Recreational Nomads in the Southwestern Sunbelt

In recent years growing numbers of a new type of winter visitor to the Sunbelt has been observed tamping free of charge on public lands. The emergence of this unorthodox type of recreationist onto the recreation landscape raises numerous questions. The purpose of this study is to examine their circulation systems. Data collected at a study site in Arizona indicate that these are extremely mobile people—circulating among the common set of watering holes in the desert Southwest during winter and dispersing northward during summer months.     

论战后初期美国苏联学的冷战化——以“哈佛苏联社会制度项目”为中心的分析

1948年2月成立的哈佛大学俄国研究中心,寻求通过社会心理学、文化人类学和社会学提供有关苏联的见解,军方及政府与之合作所主导的美国苏联学的冷战化在这一时期初露端倪。1950到1954年间的"哈佛苏联社会制度项目"是空军与俄国研究中心合作的重要产物。该项目源于对苏联流亡者进行采访以搜集信息并进行研究的设想,尽管在运作过程中曾面临种种问题,但基于大量采访信息取得的一系列成果,推动了学术与政治围绕国家安全机制的结合并充分体现了苏联学的冷战化。     

Environment/Equity: Tensions in North American Politics

Throughout the past 30 years there has been a perception of tension between social equity objectives and the agenda of environmental politics. This tension has arisen in many forms and arenas: on a social class basis, on a gender basis, and on a racial basis; regarding jobs, regarding health, and regarding competition for governmental funding. At the base, however, many of the tensions are as much perceived as real. There is more basis far common purpose between these several social movements and objectives than is ordinarily perceived.     

Domestic Security: Defending the Evangelical Home in the Southern California Sunbelt

Historians have been eager to trace the roots of “family values” discourse as a political phenomenon linked to the rise of the Religious Right. But the sacralisation of the Christian family deserves attention in its own right as a cultural phenomenon. Southern California provides an obvious case study, as religious conservatism and a growing military‐industrial presence intersected there in the postwar era. A case study of this region also illumines larger trends, since the national experience and the Californian experience converged in this period. A popular set of 1950s advice booklets by Bible Institute of Los Angeles (Biola) Vice President William W. Orr provides crucial understanding of evangelical efforts to provide foolproof methods for enacting God’s design for family security. Evangelical visions of family order did occasionally represent real rifts with postwar mainstream culture. But more often, oppositional rhetoric served to symbolically preserve evangelicals’ distinctive identity even when cultural trends were largely consonant with their own. Their assumptions about gender, emphasis on sexual fulfilment within marriage, and guidelines on the roles of husbands and fathers, ostensibly grounded in timeless biblical principles, were deeply indebted to mainstream values of companionate marriage and affectionate parenting.
