Cardoso, together with Enzo Faletto, wrote one of the classics texts on dependency theory, Dependencia y Desarrollo en America Latina (Dependency and Development in Latin America) published by Siglo XXI in 1969. Today Cardoso is running for President as the establishment candidate; his opponent is Luis Ignacio da Silva, "Lula," who, as head of the Workers Party gave headaches to the military and the capitalists and obtained 16 percent of the vote in the past presidential elections won by Collor, later ousted for corruption. During that campaign, Lula was red baited and, as reported by Petras and Morley in their book U.S. Hegemony Under Siege, the head of the Sao Paulo Federation of industries announced that if Lula were to win, 800,000 businessmen would leave the country. Despite the red baiting, Lula's political fortunes improved as the economic situation of Brazilians declined; the polls in July indicated he would win by an ample margin. Cardoso decided to fight by introducing an economic plan of monetary stabilization copied from the plan that has produced the Argentine "economic miracle," and the maneuver was successful. According to the news from the Associated Press, Cardoso will win by a landslide. The news item celebrates the defeat of the "candidate of the left." There's no mention of Cardoso's past concerns with dependency. While in Argentina, I wrote some notes about these events and will send them in my next message. in solidarity, Martha From dasmith@orion.oac.uci.edu Mon Oct 3 23:39:08 MDT 1994 >From dasmith@orion.oac.uci.edu Mon Oct 3 23:39:07 1994 Received: from orion.oac.uci.edu (orion.oac.uci.edu [128.200.80.20]) by csf.Colorado.EDU (8.6.9/8.6.9/CNS-3.5) with SMTP id XAA08720 for ; Mon, 3 Oct 1994 23:39:01 -0600 Received: by orion.oac.uci.edu id AA19106 (5.65c/IDA-1.4.4 for world-system network ); Mon, 3 Oct 1994 22:41:06 -0700 Date: Mon, 3 Oct 1994 22:41:05 -0700 (PDT) From: David Smith Sender: David Smith Reply-To: David Smith Subject: New NSF Fellowships in Democratization at UC-Irvine To: world-system network Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII MORE EXCITING NEWS FROM ANTEATERLAND!!! The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of California at Irvine a five year (approximately $500,000) grant to supprt graduate research training fellowships in the field of democratization and democratic politics. The grant and additional university funds will provide multi-year support for graduate students entering in Fall 1995 and beyond. The program will be administered by UCI's Focused Research Project on Democratization, the Department of Politics and Society, and the Department of Sociology. The global wave of democratization is prompting a reconsideration of past models of political development and the lessons of earlier academic debates on the social, cultural and institutional foundations of democracy (both in the "less developed"/underdeveloped countries and the advanced industrial nations). In most advanced "core" nations there is much contention about the boundary of democratic politics and citizen's roles within the political process, and the ways these are changing and being redefined as world approaches the twenty-first century. In addition to strengths in U.S. politics and society, and global political economy and international studies, the UC-Irvine faculty have considerable expertise in Europe (both Western and Eastern), Latin America, and East Asia. An innovative inter-disciplinary curriculum has been developed to train doctoral students in the principles of democratic politics, the conditions fostering/impeding the development and maintenance of democracies, and the expansion/contraction of democratic process. The goal of this program is to provide training for PhD students in this particular area, so that they have the the intellectual tools to contribute to the future advances in this field themselves. The grants will be available to graduate students interested in issues of democratic transitions and the quality of democracy in existing polities. Students interested in being considered for this fellowship should indicate this on their application to UC-Irvine.

WHOSE NEW WORLD ORDER? Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) 1995 SUMMER FIELD SCHOOL Globalization is changing the face of American society. New forms of production and new international trade and investment agreements are transforming how nation-states and local, regional, and national economies operate. The Northern Appalachian region, including Pennsylvania, has weathered many of the negative effects of the alterations. Since the late 1970s it has been hit hard by plant closings, mine closings, and reductions in social services. Indiana County, for example, once boasting an unemployment level of 4% in the late 1970s, found itself experiencing double digit unemployment throughout the 1980s and early 1990s and a decline in population. This Appalachian Studies field school will seek to foster an understanding of these processes by pursuing an interdisciplinary approach that will take into account the role of race, gender, class, ethnicity, and the environment within a regional and global context. It will feature one week of intensive classroom training at IUP and two weeks of supervised on-site field work in a host community. Participants will have the opportunity to sharpen interviewing and documentation skills through the use of audio and video recording and photography. Field work for the 1995 project will take place in and around the Cambria County community of Portage Pa.

Riggs Re: Hawaii Conference on Ethnonational Conflict and Viable Constitutionalism On Jan.5-8, 1995, there will be a conference on problems relating to viable constitutional democracy in countries torn by deep ethnonational cleavages. Papers will be given with either a theoretical or a case study focus and both perspectives will, we expect, be linked in a follow-up book. This meeting is sponsored by the Committee on Viable Constitutionalism (COVICO) which is an international network of scholars and practitioners concerned with problems of constitutional democracy--how governments can be both responsible to their citizens and effective implementers of public policies while sustaining harmonious global relationships in an increasingly interdependent world system. All participants will receive in advance a paper entitled "Ethnonational Rebellions and Viable Constitutionalism" designed to set the stage for the discourse in Hawaii. An underlying premise of the paper is that the violent conflicts we see today in Bosnia, Rwanda, North Ireland, South Africa, Georgia, Burma, Ethiopia, and many other countries is the result of a long-term global process which originated in the successful bourgeois-driven movements for national unification of the 18th and 19th centuries, leading to the emergence of modern empires characterized by deep internal contradictions between the nationalism and democracy manifested in the metropoles and the exploitation and domination of diverse conquered peoples found in the dependent territories. This process led, inevitablly, to the movements for national liberation of the 20th century which have now run their course, being completed only recently by the collapse of the Soviet and Yugoslav empires. The result, however, has not been the emergence of unified democracies eager to participate in the triumph of capitalism and individualism hoped for by many Westerners. Rather, the predictable sequel involves the mobilization of innumerable ethnonational movements in emergent states which are all too often dominated by weak authoritarian minorities who played a leading role in the liberation movements. Increasingly, as a result, we will assuredly witness increasing violence, anarchy and genocide, terrorism and rebellions, floods of refugees and global reactions in which the established states (i.e. all members of the UN, NATO, SEATO, etc.) will join forces to suppress revolts and maintain established boundaries. Inter-state wars will, for the most part, become a thing of the past, but intra-state violence, anarchy, violence and poverty, driven by environmental degradation and growing population pressures, will prevail. No doubt the "clash of civilizations," "end of history," and "the coming anarchy" theses all relate to these prospects but, I believe, they fail to place its dynamics in a balanced pespective. In this context, viable constitutional democracy provides, I believe, the only feasible framework for dealing responsively with communal grievances and environmental issues, transforming ethnonational revolts into non-violent political action. Where anarchy and weak authoritarian regimes prevail, the motives and ability of violent protest movements are bound to grow. Increasing popular mobilization, trans-state support, especially from ex-refugees, knowledge of organizational design, access to global communications networks (including internet and the mass media) and perhaps, above, ready access to weapons of mass destruction--all-too-often coming from the larders of the ex-superpowers--will fuel the rise of ethnonational rebellions. In this context, traditional notions about democracy and social justice, especially the idea that majority-based representative institutions can bring legitimacy, civil order and human rights, will become anachronistic. Unless substantial cultural homogeneity prevails in a country, restive ethnic minorities will view decisions rooted in popular "majorities" as hostile and unresponsive to their needs--view Rwanda as a classic case. The principles of "minority" rights will, increasingly, demand priority--not, of course, the property-owning minorities the American Constitution was designed to protect but, rather, the impoverished cultural minorities that are growing in size and number throughout the world. In this connection, it is worth adding that the East-West Philosopher's Conference will be meeting in Hawaii right after the COVICO conference. Its theme this year will be "Democracy and Justice." Recognizing the close linkage between the primary interests of our two organizations, we have planned a joint workshop on January 9 in which some participants in both conferences will come together to discuss problems of democracy and justice in countries torn by deep ethnonational conflicts. Recipients of this communication (especially in ETHNIC-L) are free to forward it to members of the organizations they represent. Thecomposition of both conferences has already been established, but there may still be room for a few last-minute additions. Participants must cover their own travel costs but local hospitality may be available during the meetings. Copies of my background paper, supported by an earlier historical and retrospective discussion presented last March at the conference of the International Studies Association, are available on request. I would also be grateful for any documents, references, of other related information about activities that you know about where themes related to that of the Hawaii conference are considered. Please bear in mind an essential limitation of this exercise. Many students of ethnicity focus on problems of "civic ethnicity," i.e. the issues raised by prejudice and discrimination against immigrant, refugee or cultural minorities whose members earnestly desire to be accepted as full-fledged citizens and economically active workers in the countries where they have come to live. For the most part they work through non-violent protest and political action to achieve their goals. The Hawaii conference will not focus on this subject although, assuredly, it is a very important one and has become increasinly important in many established democracies where the flood of migrant workers and refugees has grown in recent years. Perhaps a future COVICO conference will be devoted to such matters--or it may be the focus of attention in meetings organized by groups represented in ETHNIC-L. If so, please let us all know about them--and I agree to serve as a bridge between the three groups to which this message is addressed. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hall Department of Sociology & Anthropology DePauw University Greencastle, IN 46135-0037 317-658-4519 internet: THALL@DEPAUW.EDU I have accepted an offer to edit a 1996 special issue of _Sociological Inquiry_ (the official journal of the international sociology honor society, ALPHA KAPPA DELTA). To that end I am soliciting papers and paper proposals for that special issue. I would like proposal for papers ASAP, and will return comments on them quickly (fastest way is to submit proposal via email). I anticipate making final decisions in Spring of 1995. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE INITIAL DRAFTS OF PAPERS BY MARCH 1, 1995. Papers should be less than 30 pages, double-spaced, including notes. I have a few general goals in mind for this issue which shape the types of papers I would like to receive. First, the mission of _Sociological Inquiry_ is to reach students, teachers, and researchers, so articles should be witten so that bright undergraduates can read them, but also have substantial contributions. Second, most of us who work with world-system theory have had the experience of seeing something that purports to deal with world- system theory, but indeed proceeds as if nothing has been written since Wallerstein wrote MWS I and his CSSH article in 1974. There is a lot of exciting new work: that is what I want to showcase. Third, the second goal can be furthered by sticking to the first goal: having articles that make it easy for for neophytes (students or teachers retooling) to join and entry the debates and research. In other words, NOT articles written for insiders. This type of article will be read and cited, and, I hope, entice students and teachers to look more deeply into the research described. My vision is for a special issue that will have some sort of cover essay about what has & is going on in world-system research, followed by articles on new topics, on world-system theory and X, where X might be: ecology, gender, pedagogy of wst, precapitalist (i.e., pre 1500 C. E) world-systems, race/ethnicity, native peoples/ 4th world/ American Indians, what's happening now that the "wall is down" (collapse of communism), etc. This list is SUGGESTIVE, NOT EXHAUSTIVE OR EXCLUSIVE. I will entertain--and would like to receive--articles from outside sociology which use, emend, critiqe, extend world-system theory. I would also like suggestions and volunteers for reviews of recent world-system, or world-system inspired books for the book review section. A review essay on the recent PEWS PRIZE winners would be a most welcome--if daunting--submission. Obviously, one 100-125 page journal cannot do all of this, but it gives an idea of what I am after (Authors may assume that basic terms will be defined in the opening essay so that it will NOT be necessary to start at zero). These kinds of articles can address "cutting edge" issues, but should do so in ways accessible to the general sociological reader. They can have significant impact in terms of educating colleagues who work in teaching institutions with heavy course loads, but who wish to stay current. The "bottom line" for me is to put together an issue about which even a casual peruser will say, "there's some exciting sociology being done by those world-system folk!"

Curriculum: The primary focus of the program is to provide a structured research experience in one or two of the areas listed below (under Faculty Interests), along with course work in informatics. Fellows will survey the field broadly during their two to three year fellowship and will be expected to complete research projects. Upon completion of their training, they should be able to describe their results clearly in both oral and written form. The overall goals are to prepare trainees to: (a) direct their own health informatics research efforts at medical centers that actively embrace the Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) agenda, or (b) take leadership positions in the growing number of hospital and/or commercial efforts in health informatics. The faculty offers courses in introductory informatics course and advanced courses on information retrieval and medical decision making. Most fellows have availed themselves to a seminar series for fellows in the Division of General Internal Medicine and/or formal courses in statistics, computer science, and decision science at nearby universities. There is a degree option for a Master of Public Health with a specialization in health informatics. Faculty Interests: clinical information systems and computer-based patient records; information retrieval; outcomes research; clinicians' information needs; telemedicine; medical decision making; patient information systems and neural networks.

Can anyone suggest a reasonable textbook that deals with global developmental issues (an Introductory level). The main theme that I have in mind about the book is the global inequality and the theories that attempt to explain it. Other suggestions are also appreciated. Many thanks.

My suggestions would include Richard Peet, Global Capitalism: Theories of Societal Development [Routledge, 1991]. (a good overview of the development question and of development theories from a structural marxist perspective that attempts, not always successfully, to take account of gender and environmental questions). Alvin Y. So, Social Change and Development [Sage, 1990] (a good overview of modernization theories, dependency theories and world-system theories from a perspective which in my view reflects the way some tendencies in world-systems theory have been domesticated by liberal academic discourses. Alvin So also gives very little attention to marxism, seeing the post-War development debate as primarily a debate between modernization theories, dependency theories and world-system theories with marxism apparently being of minimal significance. This book is a real artifact of North American social science. For that reason, I find the So and Peet book used in tandem very useful for teaching purposes. Both these books are now three or four years old and neither books seriously engages with post-structural development theory and/or post-development perspectives, but they provide great overviews upt to the 1980s.

Flowers (roses) coming from Colombia, Tuna caught in the Pacific by Colombias and Ecuadors ships, Bananas, and various other products that are essential to these economies are receiving an open discriminatory treatment. Where are those preachings about the benefits of free trade and open boundaries, that have become the main guidelines for the restructuration of the economic Systems in Latin America? Where are those promises of a helping hand for these countries and their sacrifice in their war against the Narcos?
