THE 1971 WAR BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN INVOLVING BANGLADESH MARKED A WATERSHED IN THE HISTORY OF THE SUBCONTINENT. AMONG OTHER THINGS, IT SCATTERED THE VIEW OF THOSE WHO ADVOCATE MILITARY REGIMES FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ON THE GROUNDS THAT SUCH REGIMES STRENGTHEN POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) in China is an important element in the Chinese Communist effort to achieve national integration, particularly in the strategically important & sparsely populated border regions inhabited by minorities. The first function of the PLA in minority regions such as Sinkiang, Tibet, & Inner Mongolia is to establish public security & order, often through provision of civil administration. A second function is the recruitment & training of cadres. Many PLA minority soldiers are trained as cadres, & assume official positions in minority regions after completing military service. The PLA is responsible for organizing & training the militia in national minority regions through the contributions of regular PLA units & through the organization of the "production & construction corps" which handles various developmental programs. The PLA also recruits & trains national minority soldiers, some of whom are selected as exemplary models for emulation by the masses. Through these activities the PLA has become an important agent for minority socialization & has contributed to national integration in China. Modified AA.

The attachment of a soldier to an army is to be explained primarily, not by his attitudes to the society which the army defends, but by the attitudes of other army personnel. Most deserters in the Vietnam War were motivated by personal, family, or financial problems deriving from a lack of integration into society in general. This lack contributed to their lack of ties to the military. The avoidance of desertion requires that such ties be developed. W. H. Stoddard.

Document No. 5 on the Move-to-the-Left strategy in Uganda was presented by Presi dent Obote in July 1970, and contained proposals for new methods of electing mem bers to the National Assembly and the President of the Republic. In this article the description and analysis of these electoral proposals focus on their content as well as on their implications. It seems that the electoral reforms should be evaluated as regards their contribution towards national integration, legitimacy of the regime, and political mobilization. They were, however, never put to a real test because the military coup intervened. Only some tentative suggestions may be put forward. The contribution towards national integration across tribal differences seems to have been the foremost concern. The expectations of increased legitimacy of the regime were probably moderate. Stronger ideological commitment and wider mobilization were regarded as desirable by some groups. However, whether these would have ensued remains an open question.

This paper analyzes Chilean foreign policy regarding integration processes in Latin America during the administation of Eduardo Frei, a policy that arose from a subregional integration strategy that was specified in the Subregional Integration Agreement signed in Cartagena, Colombia, in May 1969. Then it continues with that of Salvador Allende, with characteristics dissimilar that of his predecessor, which ended abruptly after the 1973 coup, to finally culminate with the turn in Chilean foreign policy by the military regime that ultimately they meant the withdrawal of Chile from the Andean Pact. ; En este trabajo se analiza la política exterior chilena respecto a los procesos de integración en América Latina durante el gobierno de Eduardo Frei, política surgida de una estrategia de integración subregional que se vio concretada en el Acuerdo de Integración Subregional suscrito en Cartagena, Colombia, en mayo de 1969. Luego se prosigue con el de Salvador Allende, de características disimiles al de su antecesor, finalizado abruptamente tras el Golpe de Estado de 1973, para finalmente culminar con el giro en la política exterior chilena por parte del régimen militar que en definitiva significaron el retiro de Chile del Pacto Andino.

The Vietnam veteran as a soldier, had to adjust to a multitude of transitions on his return from the combat zone, without the benefit of significant rational planning by the military to facilitate healthy coping & adaptation. 2 concurrent studies were conducted from a sample of 749 (577 Vietnam veteran, 172 nonveteran) S's. The 1st study investigated the incidence of reported maladjustment in Vietnam returnees during their 1st 6 months back at a stateside unit. The 2nd was an interview study of 64 veterans to understand the stressful adjustment issues with which a veteran must cope, what differentiates those who are successful in coping from those who have difficulties, & what programmatic interventions might be implemented to foster & facilitate healthy readjustment on return from Vietnam. 3 groups were interviewed: veterans experiencing no adjustment difficulties, veterans with disciplinary-legal maladjustment, & veterans with emotional maladjustment. Adjusting veterans were differentiated from maladjusting veterans by information about the reality & expectations of their post combat milieu, coping styles, & success in negotiating other large institutions (school, jobs). A preventive intervention plan was proposed to prepare returning veterans for the expectable stresses of return from the combat zone. Reentry from combat studies should alert the military to focus more attention on the predictable stresses of the multiple transitions made in a military career & stimulate planning to promote successful coping.
