Abstract

Like society itself, the social sciences undergo continual change, and it is the mission of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) to identify and further emerging research agendas. This volume is the first publication of the council's Research Planning Committee on States and Social Structures. Established in 1983, the committee aims to foster sustained collaborations among scholars from several disciplines who share in the growing interest in states as actors and as institutional structures.
