The subject of regional planning now stands high on the calendar of American social thinking. Miss Kimball, in compiling her admirable manual of information three years ago, was able to make a fair display of papers and documents on regional, rural, state, and national planning. Since that time the sheaf of materials has grown substantially in bulk and variety. This increase of interest in the topic was inevitable. As in the world of abstract ideas every attempt to cut through to the heart of a problem lands us in metaphysics, to use the penetrating observation of William James, so in the field of municipal development any effort to follow the filaments of city planning to their roots leads us beyond the immediate urban area into the large and indefinite region of which it is a part. Anyone who has for a moment got away from the political aspects of a specific city government and taken up some particular question, such as transportation, knows how quickly he is carried beyond the legal boundaries of his municipality into its regional, state, national, and even international, relations. If anyone, perchance, has doubts on the point, let him spend a few hours with the 1920 report of the New York-New Jersey Port and Harbor Development Commission. Of course to adepts this is all trite enough, but it is an indication of what must be the inexorable drift in the thinking of those who are concerned with anything more than the decorative aspects of municipal design.

This book has two main aims: firstly, to provide a rare, detailed description of the use of a psychoanalytically informed, reflexive research method to achieve an in-depth understanding of social phenomena; and secondly, to throw some much needed light onto the complex, intrapsychic and interpersonal influences that impact upon "military wives" who accompany members of the British Armed Forces to postings overseas. These arguments are particularly relevant at a time when the military is over-stretched, given that unhappy wives can adversely affect the retention of servicemen. This is an important contribution to the on-going development of psycho-social studies.

La « sphère sociale » des entreprises, soit l'ensemble des services et des prestations délivrés par et sur le lieu de travail, était traditionnellement très importante en Russie. La privatisation des entreprises a soulevé la question de la propriété, de la responsabilité, de la gestion... et de l'avenir de cette sphère. Son transfert vers les pouvoirs locaux a commencé en 1993 et s'est précisé en un mouvement de municipalisation (transfert vers les villes) à la fin de 1994. Loin d'être un processus simple et linéaire, cette municipalisation est demeurée partielle et hétérogène. Elle a servi de révélateur des relations entre villes et entreprises et a parfois suscité une redéfinition de leurs rôles respectifs dans la protection sociale de la population locale.

"This book critiques the superiority theory of disparagement humor, rooted in Hobbes's definition of laughter. Nathan Miczo offers the agōn (Greek for contest) as a metaphor to demonstrate how within- and between-group dynamics shape the creation and reception of disparagement humor"--
