FROM THE PREFACE: “This book is about industrial democracy in an American corporation. Throughout I will be referring to the term democracy in a somewhat extreme form in relation to the current usage of the word in American theories of organization. I have not considered workers' participation as merely a progressive management technique or a vague approach to a more "humanized" work place. Although I am not condemning these innovations for the ends they seek, it is nevertheless the case that most American experiments in this vein have taken advantage of the symbolic value of "democracy" while not applying the basic principles of democracy as it is conceived in political theory.”

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.

FROM THE PREFACE: “The reader will not find herein a model of value-free sociology. I have become increasingly convinced that the best sociologists among us are not those who artificially excise the moralcomponent from their works, who attempt to play God and raise themselves above their fellows, or who invoke the old dogma that because science cannot establish the validity of values, that values, insofar as possible, should be excluded from science. Much of this, of course, is sham…”
