Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Social Change in Latin America Today: Its Implications for United States Policy In the years since World War II both makers and thinkers of foreign policy have been more acutely aware than before that the interaction of states and peoples does not take place on some abstract plane of equal and identical nationhood but against a background of wide cultural and social diversity. "Nationalism," "equality," "progress," "democracy" - these and other words take on different meanings in different settings. To understand these differences has become important, even vital, to the thinking and conduct of policy in a rapidly changing, some say a "revolutionary," stage of history. How can social anthropologists, who have made great strides in the past generation in broadening our understanding of cultural patterns and social forces, best contribute to the essential fund of our knowledge of new processes of social and political change? And how can political analysts and policy-makers best draw upon the anthropologists´ accumulated findings and fresh insights? The Council´s project on Social Change in Latin America was undertaken, in some part, to serve as a case study in the interaction of anthropological research and political science and, in larger part, to fill a gap in the tool kit with which North Americans approach the crucial problems of U.S. relations with the peoples of Latin America.
