Recent
Social Trends in the United States, 1960-1990, is the volume of a series.
Similar volumes describing recent social trends in France, West Germany,
and Quebec, will be published later this year, and other countries, beginning
with Spain, will be covered in subsequent years.
The long-term goals of the International Research Group on the Comparative Charting of Social change are quiet ambitious, at least chanllenging. We aim eventually to produce studies that can be said to discern and compare across the nature of change within social systems.
The volume
offered here is considerably more modest, being one of four parallel volumes
depicting selected aspects of social Change within single nations, constructed
according to agreed-upon principles and incorporating certain shared assumptions.
Despite this modesty, because it is designed to contribute to the eventual
construction of a truly sociological account if differs considerably from
the kind of "social reports" that both governmental and non-governmental
agencies in many nations commonly issue.
