Self-management in Yugoslavia has practically led to bankruptcy; most decision-making rights are made by councils rather than the workers as a whole. Technical & office workers dominate these councils; thus, 'workers' democracy' has reconstituted capitalism's unequalizing tendencies within itself. Global interests are subordinated to attainment of profits in every enterprise. The only difference from capitalism is that wealth is gained not by inheritance but by taking a privileged place in a firm. Unemployment is very high, as in Southern Italy and other underdeveloped capitalist societies. Inflation is also high, & a trade deficit has emerged. Integration into the world market has offered a place for multinational corporations in the Yugoslav economy, further denying popular control to workers. Regional differences & social tensions have continued & grown. These considerations indicate that the 1965 reforms have not failed through misapplication, but due to their very nature. W. H. Stoddard.

Differences in statutory mandates, traditions, and attitudes toward risk cause agencies to develop different standards for the same substances. As a response to this fragmentation and uncertainty, common to environment decisions, new organizations emerge to try to coordinate the agencies but usually are created to perform a specific task rather than to coordinate agencies. For these new organizational forms to succeed, they must be in place before the crisis occurs and they must be able to facilitate, not impede, normal adaptive mechanisms of organizations.

Bar-Siman-Tov, Y. Crisis Management by Military Cooperation with a Small Ally: American-Israeli Cooperation in the Syrian-Jordanian Crisis, September 1970. Cooperation and Conflict, XVII, 1982, 151-162. The aim of this study is to examine the American—Israeli military cooperation in the Jordanian-Syrian crisis of September 1970, as an illustrative case of crisis management by military cooperation with a small ally, in a situation where there are inadequate conditions for the effective employment of direct coercive diplomacy by the major power. The U.S. role in the resolution of the crisis became effective only when it demonstrated clearly that it had a credible means to manage the crisis. The military cooperation with Israel increased tremendously the American credibility and therefore its coercive diplomacy bargaining position in the crisis. The U.S. succeeded in employ ing its military cooperation with Israel as an effective means of crisis management. because the preliminary conditions for that strategy were present. The U.S. had a local ally with its own interests, motivation and capability to act as a 'crisis manager assistant'. The main negative result of the crisis for the U.S. was Israel's increased bargaining power. When a superpower is unable to protect its vital interests by use of its own direct coercive diplomacy and needs to rely on the assistance of an ally, it has no choice other than to accept the increased bargaining power of the ally.

During the Tudor and Stuart periods the population of England doubled, increasing from perhaps 2.5 to 5 million. When the total had last reached the 4–5 million mark, in the early fourteenth century, there had been a sharp Malthusian cut-back. How then did the country manage to break through this crucial barrier at its second attempt? Victor Skipp throws light on this question by constructing a detailed model of demographic, economic and social change for a sample group of English communities. After examing the effect of the ecological adjustments on social structure, domestic and cultural life, Mr Skipp turns to the wider implications of his model, considering the possibilities of adapting it to the analysis of sixteenth and seventeenth century developments in other English communities; how it might be related to the 'general European crisis', particularly as expounded in the regional studies of French historians; and to the political alignment of local inhabitants during the English civil war

At the moment when the UN is attempting to define the "third generation" of the rights of development -- ie, international solidarity, in addition to civil/political & SE/cultural rights -- the welfare state is endangering the exercise of the SE rights guaranteed by the Charter & other international covenants. The task is to find effective forms of exercising the social right to development without its being crushed in the name of efficacy. The richness & diversity of communitarian traditions give reason to hope that Third World societies will manage to evolve strategies of self-production of social services, stimulated & assisted by the state, which would circumvent the historical phase of the welfare state. In so doing, they might find new & original vehicles rooted in their particular cultures & institutions. AA Tr & Modified by S. Karganovic.

Because planning is often viewed as being external to the total management process, planning activities are often isolated from the management system within which they take place & which they are intended to serve. As a result, the use & utility of the planning product as a tool for management decision-making, & a more rational approach to the allocation of society's resources are significantly diminished. To a large extent, the "drug crisis" & society's response to it has suffered from this isolation of planning activity from the management process. The practical side of the process as it actually takes place is discussed, concentrating on the major factors that affect the ultimate use, or nonuse, of the product. More specifically, the various purposes for research data in the area of drugs & social policy are described; different types of planning activities that may be used to obtain the data needed are defined & described; major approaches to planning as currently utilized are given; some of the problems in current planning activities are highlighted; & improvements that can be made in the planning process & in the use of its products are recommended.
