Mexico today enjoys one of the most dynamic and varied print media in Latin America. Dating from 1542 when the first news flier came off the press in Mexico City, print journalism has had a lively history culminating in a most favorable situation in the 1980s in which this country's population counts on a daily deluge of newspapers, magazines and other publications. Al Hester concentrates on three tabloids which make up over one‐tenth of the total daily circulation of papers in the capital. He examines their textual and pictorial content, sources of news, the importance of news coverage in comparison with advertising space, the general characteristics of the papers in the way they approach their tasks, how the communicators perceive their missions and their readers, and finally what contributions these tabloids make to Mexico City readers. Hester discovers that the tabloids do not fit the traditional picture of sensationalist publicatons but to varying degrees provide hard news, variety, even investigative reporting, and socially conscious types of content.

As pointed out in another article (Flora) contained in this volume, Latin American governments use mass media and popular culture forms to inform the masses and to provide messages which serve as alternatives to those communicated by the "controlled" media. While print and electronic means are effective in reaching large segments of Latin America's urban and rural populations, walls, both public and private, have been utilized as well. As Kenneth Crrieb points out in his article, painting announcements on walls is a common practice in these societies as well as in other nan‐ Western countries such as the People's Republic of China. Grieb focuses on the phenomenon in Mexico City during the latter protion of Luis Echeverria's presidenc (mid‐1970s) when, under his orders, painters decorated walls all over the city with messages proclaiming both political slogans and popular wisdom. Perhaps inspired by his visit to China, Echeverria saw the potential of wall announcements to mobilize the populace to a greater awareness of their social responsibility as Mexican citizens. Grieb lists and comments on several categories of wall announcements which he sees as a mirror of the thoughts of the political leadership as well as an indication of the values it sought to promote.

Kent Jennings and Richard Nieini arc recognized widely for their 1965 study of the development of political attitudes and behavior among a large, nationally representative sample of high school seniors and their parents (The Political Character of Adolescence, Princeton). Now they present the results of a follow-up study of these same individuals in 1973 along with a fresh study of 1973 high school seniors. Spanning a dramatic eight-year historical period and an important transitional phase in the life cycle of the younger generation, this material provides a unique opportunity to assess the development of political attitudes and participation.

This book provides the first thorough examination of the peace movement in pre-World War I Germany, concentrating on the factors in German politics and society that account for the movement's weakness. The author draws on a wide range of documents to survey the history, organization, and ideologies of the peace groups, placing them in their social and political context. Working through schools, churches, the press, political parties, and other opinion-forming groups, the German peace movement attempted systematically to promote the idea that the world's nations composed a harmonious community in which law was the proper means for resolving disputes. Except for small pockets of support, however, the movement met only resistance-resistance greater, the author contends, than elsewhere in the West. Evaluating the reasons for hostility to the peace movement in Germany, he concludes that dominant features of German political culture emphasized the inevitability of international conflict, in the final analysis because Imperial Germany's ruling elites feared the domestic as well as the international implications of the movement's program.

During the period 1924-1949, amid civil war with the KMT, war with the Japanese, internal leadership disputes, and other chaotic conditions, rapid shifts occurred in the political culture of China. Patricia Griffin contends that an understanding of how the Chinese Communists created a legal system at this time is essential to a grasp of more recent events. Focusing on the Communists' definition and treatment of counterrevolutionaries, she describes and assesses the contribution of environment, ideology, and leadership in the development of legal techniques used by the Communists in their rise to power. In this book, translations of the major statutes concerning counterrevolutionaries during the period, together with an account of the growth of counterrevolutionary law and the legal structure, explain how the counterrevolutionaries were dealt with and how their treatment changed in response to external and internal stimuli. The author analyzes the roles of ideology and experience as determinants of law toward counterrevolutionaries and, in a final chapter, discusses the implications of the early experience for future legal developments in China. Her topic is of vital importance because of the politically sensitive nature of the subject matter and because of the time period examined. Originally published in 1976.

This is a political and institutional study of a decade of political activity in the old régime 1768- 1778. It assesses its strengths, weaknesses, and reforming potential, and seeks to establish it as a viable and credible political culture. The study moves from a description of the regime in actuality, through various of its institutions, and on to an interpretation of Necker's reforming vision in 1778. The political dimension is provided by an analysis of politics over the decade using much new material, and by describing the political experience of one individual. I. defines the regime's geopolitical differentiation, administrative-cum-legal structures, social composition, and areas of stress and potential change. It identifies the robe as the dominant force in society, and devolution as the main pressure for reform. II. examines theorists of the monarchy, especially Louis XVI's tutors, and thence his practice of kingship to show that he believed he was following a blue-print for success. III. shows that Maupeou's reforms were not a firm base for wider reform and restructuring, but that the exiled magistrates had developed a coherent ideology of institutional conservatism which operated in opposition to a reforming monarchy. IV. the States - whether lapsed, hypothetical, or extant - were the most viable alternative administrative structure to the decaying 'Administrative/ Absolute Monarchy' based on the Councils and Intendants. V. samples the mass of alternative thinking about the regime, and describes the major reform schemes. 'VI. Necker hoped to become the dominant minister of the century by drawing all the political themes of the period and breaking the power of the robe. Appendix I. analyses ten years of ministerial instablity interpreting the background to the institutional developments. II. shows Linguet's career exposing most aspects of the regime and challenging many of its basic assumptions.
