HARVARD INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR - 1955

POLITICAL SECTION

CHAIRMAN: PROFESSOR EARL LATHAM

READING LIST

As a "seminar" is conducted in American universities, its success depends on participation, formal or informal, by all its members. The function of the leader is to organize the program, to make a preliminary presentation of the topics to be covered, and to try to guide the discussions toward some measure of coherence and focus. In this case, he will have the special task of indicating how these themes are envisaged from an American perspective, and of eliciting from the other participants statements of how the topics are dealt with in their own cultures and in their own individual thinking.

In the course of the seminar, several members of the group will be asked to give fairly substantial reports, of something like forty-five minutes each, on various sub-topics of their choosing, and others will be invited to prepare briefer comments on these or related subjects. The reports may deal either with European and Asian material or with American topics as viewed critically through the experience of another society. Each participant is urged to prepare a report on one of the topics of the outline prior to his arrival at the seminar, using materials available in his own country.

The following indication of the scope of the course is offered not as a rigid outline but to suggest to the participants the kinds of topics that may be chosen for discussion. Since the place of the meeting is in the United States, it has not been thought unreasonable to take the American experience as a point of departure. This is not meant to exclude other experiences, but rather to elicit the fullest statement of the political experiences of the participant's culture of society. The books mentioned are, therefore, not to be taken as "assignments" but rather, from their titles and contents, as indications of the range of

- 2 -

questions that may profitably be raised in the seminar. The readings suggested are exclusively American publications since the participants are presumed able to select for themselves the literature of their own countries. It is suggested that participants before arriving in America prepare themselves to discuss at least one of the topics using either the books listed below or others illustrative of the same problem in their own background. Since the members of the seminar are mature persons, who will wish to follow their own judgment as to how they can make their most useful contribution to the seminar, it has not been thought desirable to prescribe an elaborate program of weekly reading. But one or two articles or chapters from books will be recommended each week, in order that discussions may be focused on some common reading, and the chairman will suggest a more detailed list of readings on American treatments of these themes for the use of those who wish to pursue these in greater detail either during their visit or after returning home.

## 1. The Role of Political Parties in the Modern State

Useful surveys of the American scene are V. O. Key, *Politics, Parties and Pressure Groups* (Crowell, New York, 1948) and Peter Odegard and E. Allen Helms, *American Politics: A Study in Political Dynamics* (Harper, New York, London, 1938). These books describe the dynamics of the American political process with a wide use of specific illustration. Samuel Lubell, *The Future of American Politics* (Harper, New York, 1952) is an interpretation of the distribution of power and support between the two major parties with special reference to the shift in 1932 and its consequences. *Presidential Nominating Politics in 1952* (Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 1954) is an extensive report on how the major political parties chose Eisenhower and Stevenson in 1952.

Besides these general works, the members of the seminar may find the
following useful: E.E. Schattschneider, *Party Government* (Farrar and
Rinehart, New York, 1940), which emphasizes the decentralized nature of
American parties and argues for stronger centralization; E.P. Herring,
*Politics of Democracy* (Farrar and Rinehart, New York, 1940) takes a some-
what different line from Schattschneider and makes a defense of the present
system; W.E. Binkley, *American Political Parties: Their Natural History*
discusses the development of American parties as loose confederations of
special interests of one kind or another; and Arthur Holcombe, *The Middle
Class in American Politics* discusses a shift in party politics from a
sectional to a class basis.

Machine and boss politics are dealt with in the following: Harold
Gosnell, *Machine Politics: Chicago Model* (University of Chicago Press,
Chicago, 1937); H.T. Kane, *Louisiana Hayride* (1941) deals with Huey Long;
Dayton McKean, *The Bogs: The Hague Machine in Action* (Houghton Mifflin,
Boston, 1940); M.M. Milligan, *Missouri Waltz* (1948) discusses the Pendergast
machine in Kansas.

The American Political Science Association Committee on Political
Parties issued a report, *Towards a More Responsible Two-Party System*, in
September 1950, which contains proposals for strengthening the American
two-party system. See also, Julius Turner, "Responsible Parties: A dissent
from the Floor," *American Political Science Review* (hereinafter cited as
*APSR*), March 1951, p. 143 ff; and Austin Ranney, "Towards a More Respon-
sible Two-Party System: A Commentary," *APSR*, March 1951, p. 488 ff.

## 2. The Function of the Legislature

Standard descriptive works on the structure and functions of the American Congress are: Woodrow Wilson, *Congressional Government* (1885); Harvey Walker, *The Legislative Process* (1948); Lindsay Rogers, *The American Senate* (1926). A critical description and interpretation is James Burns, *Congress on Trial* (1949), which concludes that the chief weaknesses are to be at ributed to the party system. H.H. Wilson, *Congress: Corruption and Compromise* (1951) compares American and British experience and makes recommendations for reform. The practice of the filibuster is dealt with in F. L. Burdette, *Filibustering in the Senate* (1940) and the role of the Senate in treaty-making is discussed and defended in R.U. Dangerfield, *In Defense of the Senate: A Study in Treaty Making* (1933). The office of Speaker of the House of Representatives under "Uncle Joe" Cannon is discussed in E.B. Bolles, *The Tyrant from Illinois* (1951).

For the operation of the important conference committee procedure, see G. Steiner, *The Congressional Conference Committee: Seventieth to Eightieth Congress* (1951), and for the operation of a well-known investigating committee, see Robert K. Carr, *The House Un-American Activities Committee* (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, 1953). In connection with these discussions of American legislative committees, an interesting companion piece is Neil C.M. Elder, "The Parliamentary Role of Joint Standing Committees in Sweden," *APSR*, June 1951, p. 464 ff.

The reason for and results of the reorganization of Congress in 1946 are considered in: American Political Science Association, Committee on Congreee, *The Reorganization of Congress* (1945); Joint Committee on Organization of Congress, *Organization of Congress*, Senate Report 1011, 79th Congress,

[1C]

- 5 -

2nd Session, 1946 (favorable report recommending reorganization of Congress); and George B. Galloway, "The Operation of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946," *APSR*, March 1951.

There is a growing literature on the role of interest groups in the legislative process of which the following are some examples: Fred Riggs, *Pressures on Congress* (Columbia, New York, 1950); John Shott, *The Railroad Monopoly* (Public Affairs Institute, Washington, 1950); E. E. Schattschneider, *Politics, Pressures, and the Tariff* (1936); Stephen Bailey, *Congress Makes a Law* (Columbia, New York, 1950); Pendleton Herring, *Group Representation Before Congress* (Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 1929); M. L. Rutherford, *The Influence of the American Bar Association on Public Opinion and Legislation* (1937); Wesley McCune, *The Farm Block* (1943); Stuart Chase, *Democracy Under Pressure* (1945); D. C. Blaisdell, *Economic Power and Political Pressures*, (TNEC Monograph 26, Washington, 1941).

Efforts to take account of pressure and other group activity in the formulation of public policy are Arthur Bentley, *The Process of Government* (Principia Press, Bloomington, 1935); David Truman, *The Governmental Process* (Knof, New York, 1951). See also Earl Latham, "The Group Basis of Politics: Notes for a Theory," *APSR*, June 1952. For the view that the Congress does not possess a monopoly of the quality of "representativeness," see Norton Long, "Bureaucracy and Constitutionalism," *APSR*, September 1952, p. 808 ff.

### 3. Relations Between the Executive and the Legislative Powers

One of the characteristic features of the American political system, misunderstood in the United States as well as abroad, is the separation of powers which sometimes produces sharp tension in the field of international relations as well as in domestic politics. One historical explanation for the

- 6 -

separation of group interests which the separation of powers entails is Wilfred Binkley, *President and Congress* (Knopf, New York, 1947). A specific discussion of the relation between separation of powers and foreign policy is Daniel Cheever and H. F. Haviland, *American Foreign Policy and the Separation of Powers* (Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 1952). The best discussion of the constitutional law of the institution of the presidency is E. S. Corwin, *President: Office and Powers* (New York University, New York, 1948), 3rd ed.

The President as a leader in the formulation of public policy is discussed in Pendleton Herring, *Presidential Leadership* (1940). For an account of the powers of the President as commander-in-chief, see Clinton L. Rossiter, *The Supreme Court and the Commander in Chief* (1951). In the fulfillment of his responsibilities as the chief administrator in the Federal Government, the President functions through the heads of the various agencies, the most important of which are those that comprise the cabinet. This cabinet is unlike its English namesake, and the merits of the presidential and parliamentary cabinets are discussed in the colloquy between Don K. Price and Harold Laski in *Public Administration Review*, Autumn 1943, pp. 317-334, and Autumn, 1944, pp. 347-359 and 360-363.

The respective roles of the President and Congress in law-making are considered in L. H. Chamberlain, *The President, Congress, and Legislation* (1946). Robert A. Dahl, *Congress and Foreign Policy* (Harcourt, Brace, New York, 1950) is an account of the functions of Congress in the indicated field. L. Wilmerding, Jr., *The Spending Power* (1943) deals with the forceful authority of the Congress over Federal agencies through the power to grant or withhold funds; and Elias Huzar, *The Purse and the Sword* (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, 1950) is a good account of Congressional control of the

[LC]

- 7 -

military through the power to make appropriations. The power of the Senate to withhold confirmation from presidential appointees is dealt with in Joseph Harris, "The Senatorial Rejection of Leland Olds: A Case Study," *APSR*, September 1951, p. 674. For invaluable material on the relations between the President and his principal civilian and military advisers, and the role of Congress with respect to both, see the "MacArthur Hearings," Senate Committee on Armed Services and Committee on Foreign Relations, *Hearings*, Military Situation in Far East, 82nd Congress, 1st session, 1951.

K. London and K. Ives, *How Foreign Policy is Made* (1949) is an account of the procedures for the making of foreign policy in the principal democratic countries. Gabriel A. Almond, *The American People and Foreign Policy* (1950) is an account of the role of groups in the making of foreign policy in America. J.L. McCamy, *The Administration of American Foreign Affairs* (1950) is a recent work on the place of the State Department and other agencies of the Federal Government in the formulation and execution of foreign policy. See also J.P. Chamberlain, "The Place of Congress in the New Foreign Policy," *Columbia Journal of International Affairs*, Winter, 1949.

For clear accounts of the relations between the Executive and the Legislature in Britain, France, Germany and the Soviet Union, See Gwendolyn Carter, John Ranney, and John Herz, *The Major Foreign Powers* (rev. ed. 1952) at the indicated places, and the citations to monograph and periodical works in the bibliography.

## 4. Minority Groups and Civil Liberties

The problem of the Negro in American society in all its manifold complexity is discussed in Gunnar Myrdal, *An American Dilemma* (Harper, New York, 1944). The political consequences of racial dualism are discussed in V.O. Key, *Southern Politics* (Knopf, New York, 1949). For a discussion of national

[LC]

- 8 -

minorities and their place in American politics, see F. J. Brown and J. S. Roucek (ed) *One America* (Prentice-Hall, New York, 1945). To these might be added H. L. Moon, *Balance of Power* (1948) which shows the critical importance of the Negro vote in national elections. But the problems of the Negro are problems of civil liberties, and this section has therefore been broadened to include other problems of civil liberties besides those of racial and minority groups. See for example, O. K. Fraenkel, *Our Civil Liberties* (1944).

The best work on the nature of freedom of speech is Zechariah Chafee, *Free Speech in the United States* (rev. ed. 1941). J. E. Gerald discusses freedom of the press in *The Press and the Constitution, 1931-1947* (1948). Morris L. Ernst in *The First Freedom* (1946) considers the relation of economic concentration in press and radio to freedom of expression.

Although Government regulations may constitute threats to civil liberty as in Walter Gellhorn, *Security, Loyalty and Science* (1950) and Morton Grodzin, *Americans Betrayed: Politics and the Japanese Evacuation* (1949), the Federal Government has also been the protector of civil liberties. See Robert K. Carr, *Federal Protection of Civil Rights* (1948) and Hollis W. Barber, "Religious Liberty V. The Police Power: Jehovah's Witnesses," APSR, April 1947. For an opinion on the relation between Congressional investigations and academic freedom, see Whittaker Chambers, "Is Academic Freedom in Danger?", *Life*, June 22, 1953.

## 5. *The American Democracy*

A non-scholarly but informed and insightful interpretation of the American political system as a means of fulfilling democratic values in *Fortune Magazine, USA: The Permanent Revolution*. Pendleton Herring, *The Politics of Democracy* interprets the American political system as a mode of making

harmony in a fundamentally pluralistic society. Harold U. Laski's *The American Democracy* (Viking Press, New York, 1948) supplies a Socialist criticism of the American political system. Although written before the American Civil War and the development of the industrial revolution in this country, the best evaluation of the American political system by a European is DeTocqueville's *Democracy in America* (Knopf, New York, 1945).
