Based on the latest empirical research, this book on international relations blends historical and case study materials within a well- defined, theoretical framework. The book begins with important considerations in analysis, including the nature of influence, the choice of levels of abstraction, and the use of theory to explain and predict. Among the major topics covered are the development of the international system; the nature of world structure; die links between individual, state, and international behavior; the role of governmental and nongovernmental inter- national actors; strategies of bargaining and conflict; and policy mandates for the future. 576 $12.00. from various social sciences, a number of original contributions to the field, including new approaches to society and the polity, a cost-benefit analysis of elites, a theory of political models, an operational analysis of political models, a discussion of the operational condi- tions for promoting development, and an analysis of the present interimperial system. Successively, the book offers a theoretical and methodological introduction to society and change, provides a broad review of the spe-cialized literature and formulates a compre- hensive theory of political development (historical case studies are employed), and presents an in-depth Latin American case study. 512 January, 1973. Chinese frame of reference for jfl study. Providing specific facts with inter-IS pretations, the book is based on the assump-J|B tion that in order to understand Chinese Mobility and the Soviet Political Process: A Partial Test of Two Models. This article provides a partial test of the rational-technical model and of the patronage model of political mobility in the Soviet Communist Party. Two major hypotheses are examined: 1) the greater the number of patron client ties acquired by regional Party secretaries, the greater the probability of their upward mobility, and 2) the better the economic performance of the regions for which secre- taries are responsible, the greater the probability of their upward mobility. Multiple regression analysis indicates only very weak support for these hypotheses for the 1955-1968 period in the RSFSR. Considerably greater support for the hypotheses is found when the following variables are controlled: level of economic development, political regime, and Party cohort. Changes in the level of policy conflict within the central elite are found to account for much of the variation over time in the explanatory power of the two models.
