Political Science Publishers: What Do The Citations Reveal?, Stephen Mcginty
Political Science Publishers: What Do The Citations Reveal?, Stephen Mcginty
Stephen McGinty
This study investigates political science monograph publishing patterns through an examination of journal citations. All citations to monographs in the American Political Science Review and the Journal of Politics for 1974-1975 and 1984-1985 were tallied and categorized. Lists of the most frequently cited publishers for both time periods are resented. Citation frequencies of conference proceedings, unpublished sources, foreign language material, and government documents are explored. Centralization of resource use by scholars is examined by looking at what percentage of all monograph citations are accounted for by the twenty-five most active publishers. The results depict a significant amount of change over …
Linear Order In Phonological Representation, John J. Mccarthy
Linear Order In Phonological Representation, John J. Mccarthy
John J. McCarthy
In this article I have argued that morphological distinctions play no direct role in planar segregation, and in concert with this I have shown that planar segregation occupies a somewhat more prominent role in phonology than is sometimes conceived. In the place of the WMPH and SMPH, I present the observation that the elements on separate planes have no inherent linear order relations to one another, and I show that, in those cases where planar segregation is required, the elements on separate planes are unordered at the lexical level. Lack of inherent order is shown to be a consequence of …
Book Review Of Deindustrialization And Plant Closure, John Mullin
Book Review Of Deindustrialization And Plant Closure, John Mullin
John R. Mullin
Any planner assigned the responsibility of preparing a recovery plan for a community following a plant closing knows that frustration, heartbreak, and demoralization are all part of the process. The planner also knows that there is little comprehensive literature at either the national or regional levels to help guide the effort. Finding answers to such simple questions as (1) what do I do when the largest plant in town closes or, (2) what are the community's rights and obligations when a plant closes, often proves impossible. The answers to these questions are a bit closer thanks to the work of …

The Problems Of Rural Reindustrialization: A Case Study Of Monroe, Massachusetts, John R. Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong
John R. Mullin
Owing to the departure of the mill industry from rural New England, many small towns have suffered erosion of their economic base. These towns and villages face a declining population, vacant mills, and an aging work force. Monroe, Massachusetts, is an example of the problems of rural reindustrialization. This article concludes that state intervention is required for the restoration of productivity.
Interlocks, Pacs, And Corporate Conservatism, Dan Clawson, Alan Neustadtl
Interlocks, Pacs, And Corporate Conservatism, Dan Clawson, Alan Neustadtl
Dan Clawson
Two alternative corporate political strategies are identified for Political Action Committee (PAC) contributions to candidates in the 1980 congressional elections: (1) a pragmatic effort to promote a particular company's best interests and (2) an ideological effort to promote conservatism. With the use of multiple regression, this article examines three theoretical explanations of corporate political strategies. The expectations of corporate liberal theory are not confirmed. Rather, there is support for both state structure and interlock theories. It is argued that, at least in 1980, business political behavior was ideologically conservative, which business understood to represent classwide rational interests.
