The major theme of this book is the reconceptualization and integration of politics, political science, socialization, cognitive studies, and education from both cross-national and likely 21st century perspectives. It is based on the work of 31 scholars from 11 countries who contributed papers to two International Political Science Association conferences in 1991 and 1992. The volume has six parts which, inter alia, contrast different political and cultural environments, treat the topics of political socialization and political education, and discuss the main theme of reconceptualization in terms of integrating ideas useful for the future development of the politics and/of education in an international context. While some of the research findings are country-specific, many chapters contain material of international importance since they are concerned with democratizing schools, politics, and socialization experiences ...

Der... Text beleuchtet die Bedeutung von sozio-ökonomischem Status... und Ungleichheit in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft. Anhand von Fallstudien über politische Sozialisationsprozesse und pädagogische Praxen [wird] gezeigt..., wie diese zentralen Erklärungsvariablen geeignet sind, die Realität des amerikanischen Alltagslebens wahrzunehmen, zu erklären und zu verstehen.

Der vorliegende Beitrag antwortet auf drei Fragen: Was sind einige der neuesten und wichtigsten Richtungen der kritischen Sozialwissenschaft und der radikalen Pädagogik in ihrer Analyse der Sozialstruktur, von Kultur und von Individual- und Gruppenverhalten? Decken sich in den USA diese Trends mit aktuellen Entwicklungen in den Bereichen von politischer Wissenschaft, politischer Sozialisation und Bildung? Besteht eine Chance, daß kritische Bildungsstudien einen nachhaltigen Einfluß auf die Lehrpläne, auf die Forschung oder auf die Theoriebildung der amerikanischen politischen Wissenschaften, Sozialisation oder Bildung haben werden? "Kritische" Bildungstheorie meint im hier dargestellten Kontext verschiedene Gruppen von radikal-demokratischen, neuen linken, neomarxistischen und rekonzeptualistischen Kritikern. - Der Beitrag ist in drei Teile gegliedert: 1) Das US-amerikanische Bildungsklima; 2) Einige grundlegende und gegensätzliche Sichtweisen innerhalb des amerikanischen Paradigmenstreits; 3) Trends in kritischer Sozialwissenschaft und Bildungstheorie; 4) Ethnographie, kritische Studien und Politik; 5) Trends der kritischen Bildungstheorie, Politikwissenschaft, Sozialisationsforschung und der staatsbürgerlichen Erziehung.

A discussion of the roles of mass media, its use & abuse by organized terrorist groups, & its utilization of sex & violence as selling devices. International terrorism & the media are defined in detail, & examined in terms of their symbiotic relationship. The Italian media's treatment & coverage of the kidnapping & murder of Aldo Moro & his bodyguards in spring 1978 is reported, highlighting the media's involvement with the state, the hostage, & the Italian Red Brigade. The interactive system of terrorist groups, the mass media, terrorism, public opinion, & public policy decision is diagrammed for a hypothetical democratic political system with a free press. Ideas are presented for improving media channels of communication with government, the public, & potential terrorist groups, with the aim of decreasing terrorism. 1 Figure. C. Grindle
