Historiography often describes the inter-war period as a phase that fostered a transnational «epistemic community» of social scientists and thus largely contributed to the internationalization of social policy. In this context, the American social sciences appear to have played a key role in the international diffusion of empirical social research. However, from the opposite point of view, we can observe that just after World War I social scientists in the United States tended to abandon traditional forms of the transatlantic knowledge transfer, and to p'ivilege national approaches to scientific research. From this perspective, focusing on sociology, this paper intends to show that the interwar period was characterized by two contrasting developments: while certain specialized discourses were proof to the increasing internationalization, key segments of American soc ology developed towards nationalized research agendas.

Reviewing the academic literature about the "culture war" debate in the United States, this paper shows that there is no consensus among experts of American politics regarding the thesis that there is a "culture war" under way in the United States and that the American society is polarized on social and moral issues such as abortion, gun control or gay rights. The paper then explains why the arguments debunking the "myth of a polarized America" are relatively absent in the U.S. and Qudbec media coverage of American politics. The last part of the paper argues that the reproduction of this myth has negative consequences for both U.S. and Qudbec societies, but also for Qudbec-U.S. relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the work of actress Alla Nazimova in theater. Comments on her performances in the Russian drama "Infidele," are also presented. The significant point is that she demonstrated her ability to conceive and vitalize three strongly contrasted types of womankind, a child wife of good natural instincts, but conscienceless through lack of moral training, a malignant degenerate, and an arch coquette, insatiable in conquest, but proof against the temptation she provoked. In respect of versatility it is tolerably safe to declare, even now, that there is no actress known to the American stage who can approach her.

Much of the current research on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) points to an alliance that is deeply troubled, largely irrelevant, or is bound to collapse. Nearly all of this research focuses on the transatlantic differences over Iraq, the wide differences in military capabilities between the United States and its allies, or the perceived negative impact of alliance expansion. Within recent literature, no research examines Congress's role in shaping the alliance's evolution. This paper examines Congress's views toward NATO across four issue areas; alliance expansion, NATO'S role in Afghanistan, NATO's assistance to the African Union in Sudan, and NATO's role in Iraq after Operation Iraqi Freedom. This paper finds that Congress devoted little attention to shaping NATO's transformation, and was surprisingly disengaged on NATO'S mission in Afghanistan. While examples of congressional entrepreneurship were evident, Congress was mostly deferential to the president. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents information on the importance of reading books. When President Charles William Eliot, educator in the U.S. said that a row of books five feet long, read at the rate of ten minutes a day, would supply a man with a liberal education, he was not dealing in impossibilities. Athens succeeded in training her citizens upon a far smaller expenditure of words. It is by no means certain that, in this country at any rate, the most condensed library is likely to prove the most popular.

The article presents some economic and political updates as of May 2, 1907. One of the updates focuses on the recent speech given by U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt. He shot at the labor unions and said that they have deliberately adopted violence and lawlessness. Another update highlights on the functioning of the czarist legislative assembly Duma in Russia. The short-lived first Duma came to Saint Petersburg spoiling for a fight, but the second Duma has been as anxiously avoiding one. Fairly patient this Duma seems assured of a long life.

The article comments on various social and political developments from across the world, in particular the U.S. The activity of the trades unions is one of the noticeable features of the present political campaign, and one may add that it is a healthful feature. Keen personal interest in the political movements of the State and nation is a sign of vigorous political life. The growth of independence in the Democratic party is strikingly illustrated by the action of the Young Men's Democratic Club in Brooklyn, New York. This club is an organization of progressive young men, who have consistently thrown their influence in favor of the best movements in their party, and who did good work in securing the election of Cleveland delegates from Brooklyn to the Presidential convention last year.

The article presents news related to political issues from different countries of the U.S. The average reader of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's Fargo speech would get the impression that every officer guilty of cruelty to Filipinos had been punished. In another news, it is reported that eagerly expected list of army officers selected for duty on the new general staff, will, as a whole, great satisfaction to the army. A primary election under the new direct nominations law has resulted in the selection of an anti-machine man as the Republican candidate for Mayor of Baltimore.

The article presents political updates of the U.S., as of October 21, 1901. The news of the disaster to American troops in Samar, Philippines, confirms the reports of the serious state of affairs in that island, which have been coming in for some time past. If it were true that more than forty Americans were killed, including the three officers of the company, this is the severest loss inflicted on the American troops in any one engagement since the beginning of the fighting in 1899. In another update, the newspaper "New York Press," has obtained letters from sundry members of the U.S. Congress on the subject of a lowering of the duties on sugar by treaties of reciprocity or otherwise.

The French Chamber has voted to rescind the prohibition against American pork, and impose instead a duty of 20 francs per 100 kilos. It informs the reception of applications by people who intend to claim the sugar bounty stating the amount of sugar an individual proposes to make during the ensuing year. A report on the accounts of a thieving Philadelphia Treasurer, shows that he misappropriated over $778, 000 of public money, and sunk over $1,121,000 more in the Keystone Bank, making a total loss to the city of nearly $2,000,000.

The article focuses on several political developments in the U.S., as of October 10, 1889. The two days' meeting of the Civil-Service Reform League last week in Philadelphia was from every point of view a striking evidence of the growing interest in the subject. The U.S. secretary of state James G. Blaine's speech to the Pan-American Conference was a sonorous evasion of the chief ostensible object for which the Conference was drawn together, namely to encourage such reciprocal commercial relations as will be beneficial to all and secure more extensive markets for products of each of said countries.

The article discusses some of the political updates related to the U.S. The present U.S. administration will produce a crop of scandals, which will place it fully of unsavory memory. A candidate, who comes into the Presidential chair by an enormous expenditure of money, is mortgaged to the corruptionists from the beginning. The advancing of funds to disbursing officers of the Government constitutes one of the most memorable bones of contention known to the Treasury Department. The act establishing that department assumes all the way through that a warrant drawn on the Treasurer by, the Secretary for the payment of money will be based on an account settled and certified by the Comptroller.

This article presents information about socio-political developments in the U.S. One of the most disgraceful manifestations of the spirit of Labor is the attempt to abolish steam plate presses from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

This article focuses on prevailing political conditions in the U.S. and around the world, as of April 22, 1897. The protests against the Dingley bill by European countries are based upon the idea that the U.S. is abandoning the policy of non-discrimination in foreign tariff, notwithstanding its treaties, and that the way to meet this action on the part of the U.S. is for the various European Governments to lay their duties so as to keep out American products whenever possible. Another development focuses on the teaching methods of English language in the schools of the U.S. and Great Britain.

The article presents political updates of the U.S., as of March 2, 1893. U.S. President Benjamin Harrison's Administration has entered upon its last week with the certainty that failure will overtake its final effort to divert attention from the general gloom and feebleness of its expiring hours. It is agreed on all hands that there will be no snap annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii. Nearly every maritime Power finds from time to time that the administration of its navy is a task fraught with difficulties, and the U.S. experience has formed no exception to the rule. There is no department of the Government in which bad administration is so likely to he perpetuated as in that of the navy, because there is none about which the public at large is so unqualified to judge.
