This analytical interdisciplinary approach to the study of behaviour in world society attempts to make relatively advanced material intelligible to those without the background of political science which has hitherto been necessary. Dr Burton, viewing world society as a total environment in which the behaviour of individuals, groups, nations and states occurs, describes ethnic, political, economic and ideological systems and discusses all aspects of behaviour: decision-making; roles, non-rational activity, problems of perception, values and conflict. He shows how such behaviour relates to that which we know in all social groups and in more confined areas, and states that any analysis of international society, its problems and conflicts, which explains behaviour at one social level differently from activity at another social level must be misleading. This book provides a stimulating and challenging analysis of world society which will interest a wide range of those studying international relations, sociology and politics in universities, schools and colleges of education

In pre-WWII Japanese Ru society the landowner-tenant relationship was the dominating feature, & class diff's existed between owner-peasants, owner-tenants, & tenants. In the 2nd land reform program (1946), the peasants were freed from 'the yoke of feudalism,' (owner-peasants' land holdings increased from 32.8% to 69.5%, & owner-tenants' holdings decreased from 38.4% to 26.4%). Improved agri'al techniques have raised the peasant's standard of living, but the situation is still unstable because the small size of individual plots of land (70% of total/sum farmers have less than 1 hectare of arable land) is unable to produce sufficient income for fam maintenance. However, democratization is taking place to a limited extent among the peasants. Att's are toward 'enjoying life itself,' & the landowner class has virtually disappeared. Many of the old burakus (agrarian communities) have merged into larger villages & towns, fostering the growth of pol'al democracy. Econ independence of agrarian fam's should increase with the combining of farms into larger units & with the introduction of 'collective manag.' P. D. Montagna.
