Books in Progress

The Ironies of Citizenship: Naturalization Processes in Advanced Industrialized Countries. This research monograph will explain naturalization rates in twenty countries with a barrier index, colonization, and indigenous decline. It will use pooled cross-sectional analyses, and case studies of four pairs of countries (the U.K. and France; Austria and Germany; the U.S., New Zealand, and Canada; and Belgium and the Netherlands). Currently, 190 pages of a projected 350 pages have been written. Contracts have been offered.

Work, Power & Institutions: A Critical Essay on Productivity, Participation and Protection. (co-authored with Darina Lepadatu and Timothy Thompson). This book is organized around Weber and Foucault=s theories of power to balance the conflicting and metaphorical goals of business in productivity and labor in protection. It is based on lecture notes from the Sociology of Work and Occupations courses that I have taught over the years. It is patterned after a book done by Charles Perrow in a related field (Complex Organizations: A Critical Essay). This means that it has a clear and critical thesis throughout the book but at the same time it is comprehensive and covers a large range of territory. Its audience is research scholars and graduate students. The book is about half written and will be aimed at McGraw-Hill, Wiley or Cambridge University Presses.

Projects in Progress

National Science Foundation, "The Ironies of Citizenship: A Comparative/Historical Approach to Naturalizing Immigrants" Grant for $186,000 August 1, 2001 to July 31st, 2004.

National Science Foundation "The Maturing of Lean Production: Japanese Transplant Model and Worker Reactions." Grant for $234,000 to be resubmitted January 15, 2006 based on 5 of 6 favorable reviews. This project will involve a team of three graduate student researchers and myself interviewing about 100 workers at automobile plants run by American management and Japanese owners. It focuses on the mature Japanese Transplant model of production which differs considerably from start-up phases which had extensive recruitment and intense cultural interaction. Present models minimize recruitment, socialization, and legitimacy. They also include a much higher proportion of temporary workers who are paid substantially less than permanent associates.

Cross-Cutting Cleavages and Opinion Leaders in Social Networks: This project will involve a team of researchers from political science, sociology and communications in analyzing social network data on voters. It will examine the role of voters in social networks, especially concerning opinion leaders, in reacting to political messages from new and old communications media. The cross-cutting cleavage model has been mainly developed by political scientists (Huckfeld, Mutz, Sprague) after being formulated by the Columbia school of sociology (e.g., Lazarsfeld et al). Its interaction with the >two-step= communication process also developed by the Columbia school has been largely overlooked. Placing these two processes within a social network framework in an era of new communications media will provide fertile ground to support the sociological >opinion leader and network approach= or its rival the political science >magic bullet media= approach. This project is being proposed as a UK Vice-President of Research >multidisciplinary cluster.=
