Organizational Democracy: Participation and Self-Management

Edited by G. David Garson and Michael P. Smith

This issue of Administration and Society focuses on the theme, "Organizational Democracy- Participation and Self-Management." Theoretical issues are first set forth by Dr. Carole Pateman, who elaborates on arguments found in her work, Participation and Demo- cratic Theory (Cambridge University Press, 1970). Illustrations of important developments in self-management experiments are treated by Andrew Zimbalist ni a comparison of Cuba and Chile, while the new Peruvian laws on social property are discussed by Covarrubias and Vanek. These themes are then discussed with regard to the United States in an analytic survey by Michael Brower. The outlines of self-management as an economic program and as a political issue are treated in concluding essays by a Cornell group headed by Jaroslav Vanek and by the editors of this special issue.
