The rationale for such a Commission is a certain appreciation of the historical development of the historical social sciences. The nineteenth century saw a double development vis-à-vis the social sciences. First there emerged the idea of the "three cultures" as Wolf Lepenies calls it: that is, that the arts and sciences (what in medieval universities was called philosophy as opposed to theology, law, and medicine) were really divided into three separate domains: the natural sciences at one end, the humanities (or belles-lettres plus philosophy) at the other end, and the social sciences in the middle (for some history being part of the social sciences, for others it being part of the humanities). Secondly, the social sciences were in turn divided into distinct "disciplines". The names that were finally and widely agreed upon were (besides history) economics, political science, sociology, and anthropology. There was also Orientalism, which constituted a transfer of the study of certain societies to the domain of the humanities. Neither of these two processes -- the dividing of knowledge into three cultures; the subdivision of the social sciences into a series of specific disciplines -- was uncontested. There were significant movements of intellectual resistance, but in the period that went from 1850 to 1960 approximately, the pattern described here won out.
One of the reasons it won out is that it became institutionalized, in three forms: a) within the universities, as chairs, departments, cursus of instruction, academic degrees, and above all students; b) at the national and international level, as as sociations of scholars in particular disciplines and as journals devoted to particular disciplines; c) in the great libraries of the world, as categories of classification of scholarly works. This organizational institutionalization served to make more difficult any subsequent intellectual reorganization.
In the years after 1960, this intellectual consensus began to break down. It broke down on both fronts. The various "disciplines" of the social sciences began to overlap incredibly to the point that the intellectual distinction between them seemed to have very little basis either in theory or in practice. And in addition, the sharp distinction among the "three cultures" broke down. On the one side, the line between the humanities and the social sciences was being undermined by the increasing "historicization" and hence "contextualization" of the humanities, matched by the increasing willingness of social scientists to acknowledge "humanistic" issues and methods. And on the other side, the line between the natural sciences and the social sciences was being undermined by the "new sciences" and their emphasis on irreversibility (the arrow of time), the impossibility of precision, and the centrality of complexity, all of which made them seem closer to the reality of the social sciences, and the reciprocal growing interest by social scientists in multiple ways in the content, and not merely in the methodology, of the natural sciences.
But these intellectual developments of the last 30 years have not been matched by comparable organizational developments, in part because it is not easy to budge strongly entrenched organizations, and in part because those who were unhappy intellectually about the old epistemological premises were not sure what they should advocate organizationally. The consequence has been a sort of massive worldwide drifting, in which more and more scholars feel dismayed at the state of the social sciences, but very little is being done collectively to change the situation.
The intent of the Commission is to fill this lacuna by surveying the present state of the social sciences, both in terms of the relation among the so-called separate disciplines, and in terms of the relationship of the social sciences to the physical sciences and the humanities. The object of this Commission will be to write a book-length programmatic analysis of where we should be heading in the next 50 years. The Commission will be composed of 10 persons (including the Chair), of whom it is in tended that six be social scientists, two natural scientists, and two from the humanities. The members will be committed in advance only to one basic premise the fact that the present structure of the social sciences creates unreasonable blocks to intellectual development and the consequent need for some kind of restructuring. We shall look for the very best. Still we shall also look for "balance". We will choose some for the "authority" they would confer but others will be younger persons. All will be persons who have previously shown interest in these epistemological questions. There will be geographical distribution (including some from the Third World). And there will be wide representation in terms of the existing names of disciplines. The precise list of potential members shall be drawn up jointly by the Fernand Braudel Center and the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.
The Commission will hold three meetings over two years (1994-1995). The first meeting shall be held in the spring of 1994 in Lisbon. The second meeting will be held in the fall of 1994 in Binghamton. The third meeting will take place in Paris in the spring of 1995. The Commission will issue a report. Essentially, the report will probably have three parts, the revised version of the three meetings: Part I -- The general intellectual and organizational problems; Part II -- a series of specific is sues; Part III -- a programmatic statement. We shall seek to get the book published in multiple languages.
It is hoped that the report will serve as the basis for debate about possible forms of organizational restructuring, in the light of the evolution of our intellectual work worldwide.
We shall not repeat in this Newsletter the 5-page description we gave in No. 16. Any reader who did not see No. 16 may request a copy. We do however attach an updated announcement poster to this Newsletter and request once again that you post it on a suitable bulletin board.

The program for 1993-94 has 4 Post-Doctoral Fellows. They
are:
Andrei Fursov (historian, Russia)
Ramón Grosfoguel (sociologist, Puerto Rico)
Kyung-il Kim (sociologist, [South] Korea)
Ulf Strohmayer (geographer, Germany)
Their research theme for the year is "Nomothetic vs. Idiographic
Disciplines: A False Dilemma?"
The program for the year 1994-95 will have as its research theme, "The States, the Markets, and the Societies: Separate Logics or a Single Domain?" The administrative details of the program are as follows:
The program is sponsored jointly by the Fernand Braudel Center and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme. We formally invite applicants as of now for the 1994-95 program. The conditions are as follows:
Qualifications: There will be between 3 and 5 participants in each cohort. Applicants must have a completed Ph.D., or doctorat nouveau régime (or equivalent) before the commencement of the program. The degree may be in any of the historical social sciences, broadly defined. Age 25-40. Linguistic skills: at least reading knowledge of English and French; further languages a plus.
There will be a great effort to ensure a geographical mix of the participants in any given year -- some from OECD countries (North America, western Europe, Japan) and some from the rest of the world (Latin America, Africa, Asia, east-central Europe and C.I.S.).
All applicants should send a letter to the Fernand Braudel Center arriving by December 1, 1993. The letter should contain a curriculum vitae plus a statement of intellectual interest, specifically addressing why the applicant feels qualified to participate in this particular program. Applicants should secure three recommendations, sent directly. At least one piece of writing should be submitted (preferably one relevant to the program). Applicants should indicate their linguistic skills. The application may be in English or French.
Fellows will be expected to be in Binghamton from late August to late December 1994, and then in Paris from January to June 1995. Fellows will devote themselves entirely to the Training and Research Program during its course. They will be expected to participate in two principal activities:
(i) A weekly seminar, with structured discussion based on common readings and invited speakers focusing on the historical evolution and organizational structure of the historical social sciences.
(ii) The collective research program. This research program will require a second weekly meeting, and it is expected that the Fellows will produce an integrated book by the end of the program.
Fellowships will be circa $25,000 per annum. They will receive $10,000 U.S. for the time in Binghamton and 72.000FF for the time spent in Paris. Fellows will be expected to pay for their transportation, although in cases of hardship there may be a small supplement.
For a description of the research, see Newsletter No. 16. The group completed a first draft of much of its work. On April 18-19, 1993, a small group of outside scholars was assembled to offer their critical reading of the first drafts of various chapters.
The list of participants was as follows:
Nicole Bousquet (Sociology, Univ. of Laval)
Harriet Friedman (Sociology, Univ. of Toronto)
Victoria de Grazia (History, Rutgers University)
Lars Mjøset (Inst. for Social Research, Oslo, Norway)
Frances Moulder (Three Rivers Community Technical College,
Monegan Campus, CT)
Ravi Palat (School of Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific Studies,
Univ.
of Hawaii)
Frances Fox Piven (Political Science, Graduate Center, CUNY)
Mark Selden (Sociology, Binghamton University)
Peter Taylor (Geography, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
Univ.
of Newcastle upon Tyne)
(b) Trajectory of the World-System RWG
The description of the research is to be found in Newsletter No. 16. This group too completed first drafts of much of its work specifically, the 17 so-called vectors of change over the period 1945-90, a synthetic chapter, and a chapter on prospective trends for 1990-2025.
A workshop of outside consultants was convened also for this
group on December 4-5, 1992. As a result of their criticisms, the
17 vectors are being regrouped into 6 sets. The list of
participants is:
Bruce Cumings (History, Univ. of Chicago)
David Gordon (Economics, New School for Social Research)
Otto Kreye (Starnberger Institut, Starnberg, Germany)
Saul Mendlowitz (World Order Models Project, New York)
Alejandro Portes (Sociology, Johns Hopkins University)
Robert Wade (Development Studies, Univ. of Essex, UK)
Boaventura de Sousa Santos (Sociology, Univ. of Coimbra,
Portugal)
The conference was held on November 6-7, 1993 in Binghamton. The theme was "Nationalism on the Periphery of the Ottoman Empire." The co-sponsor was, as in the past, Southwest Asian and North African Studies (SWANA) of Binghamton University. The organizers were Çaglar Keyder and Donald Quataert.
The sessions were as follows:
In addition to panelists:
Benedict Anderson (Cornell)
Faruk Birtek (Bogazici)
Hasan Kayali (UC San Diego)
Robert Vitalis (Clark)
(b) Conference, "L'Avenir des Idéologies, Les Idéologies de l'Avenir"
This conference was held in Paris from March 9-13, 1993, co-sponsored by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme. Its organizers were Etienne Balibar (Univ. Paris-I) and Immanuel Wallerstein. The program was as follows:
Thème général : Après un XXe siècle qui s'achève de façon foudroyante, dans lequel des luttes féroces ont mis aux prises les tenants des trois grands types d'"idéologies" hérités du XIXe siècle (conservatisme, libéralisme, socialisme), beaucoup d'analystes ont diagnostiqué l'épuisement de leurs capacités de mobilisation. Est-ce enfin, pour de bon, la "fin des idéologies"? Ou bien n'est-ce que le prélude à leur renaissance? Ou le signe que ces idéologies classiques sont en voie de remplacement par d'au tres, encore à nommer et à définir? D'autres hypothèses doivent-elles être envisagées?
Première séance (9 mars 1993)
Exposés : Etienne BALIBAR (Université Paris-I
et
N.I.A.S.)
Immanuel WALLERSTEIN (Fernand Braudel Center)
Introduction du séminaire : En quel sens y a-t-il eu, depuis deux siècles, des "idéologies"? Y aura-t-il encore des idéologies au XXIe siècle? Et si oui, seront-elles la continuation des précédentes, ou quelque chose de radicalement nouveau?
Deuxième séance (10 mars 1993)
Exposés : Andrei FURSOV (INION, Moscou)
Pablo GONZALEZ CASANOVA (UNAM, Mexico)
Autour de l'universalisme et du particularisme : La pensée des Lumières annonçait la fin des particularismes et l'essor de l'universel. Or ce qui n'a jamais cessé de se manifester depuis a été la montée des nationalismes, des ethnicités, et d'autres types de particularismes. A quoi devons-nous nous attendre, dès lors, pour les années à venir? Et même si l'on assiste au déclin du nationalisme le plus étroit, ne risque-t-il pas d'être aussi tôt relayé par le nationalisme "élargi" des grands ensembles continentaux de "civilisation" (monde latino-américain, monde européen, monde sino-japonais, monde arabo-musulman, etc.)?
Troisième séance (11 mars 1993)
Exposés : Samir AMIN (Forum du Tiers-Monde, Dakar)
Suzanne de BRUNHOFF (C.N.R.S.)
Autour des idéologies, des théories et des politiques économiques : L'Etat-Providence, le développement et la planification ont été de grands mots d'ordre du XXe siècle. La crise de ces notions, la résurgence de la suprématie du marché, le triomphe de la modélisation donnent-ils raison à la "science économique" (economics) contre l'"économie politique"? Ou bien celle-ci est-elle en cours de reconstitution par la prise en compte de nouvelles réalités (l'écologie, la gestion monétaire supra-nationale, les rapports Nord-Sud)? L'idée d'un "New Deal mondial" naguère avancée par la Commission Brandt -- est-elle encore à l'ordre du jour?
Quatrième séance (12 mars 1993)
Exposés : Marc AUGE (E.H.E.S.S.)
Colette GUILLAUMIN (C.N.R.S.)
Autour de l'individualisme, de la religion et de la diffé rence des sexes : Quelle importance faut-il attribuer au fait qu'on ofserve à la fois, à la fin du XXe siècle, dans le monde entier, un "retour du religieux" et une généralisation du mouvement d'émancipation des femmes? S'agit-il d'un clivage insurmontable (puisque l'un et l'autre expriment de fortes positions, mais pratiquement opposées, sur le contrôle de la sexualité et la disposition du corps, le fonctionnement de la famille, les relations hommes/femmes)? La différence des rôles sexuels serait-elle l'enjeu par excellence des débats idéologiques à venir? De leur côté les religions (traditionnelles ou transformées, voire reconstituées sur d'autres bases, "syncrétiques") seront-elles le terrain principal de l'affrontement entre modes de vie "individualistes" et réactions "communautaires"?
Cinquième séance (13 mars 1993)
Exposés : Pierre BOURDIEU (Collège de France)
Toni NEGRI (Université Paris-VIII)
Autour de l'étatisme et de l'anti-étatisme : Depuis 5OO ans, en dépit de périodiques appels à l'autonomie de la "société", l'Etat ne cesse d'accroître sa centralité politique, et les idéologies des XIXe et XXe siècles ont toutes en réalité beaucoup fait pour l'y aider. Cependant les sentiments anti-étatiques renaissent et semblent aujourd'hui se renforcer en même temps que les modèles d'Etat traditionnels connaissent un crise plus ou moins profonde. Serait-ce que le point le plus haut de l'influence de l'Etat dans l'histoire a été dépassé, ou bien, sous de nouvelles formes, ira-t-elle toujours grandissant? Les idéologies pencheront-elles désormais plutôt vers le "jacobinisme" ou vers l'"anarchisme"? Cette alternative même conservera-t-elle un sens?
(c) XII International Colloquium on the World-Economy (ICWE)
It will be held in Tokyo & Nagoya on December 10-14, 1993 on the theme "Asia in the World-Economy." In addition to the three traditional sponsors (the Fernand Braudel Center, the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, and the Starnberger Institut), our host sponsor will be the Japan Council on International Affairs, and an additional sponsor will be the United Nations University. There will be 30 participants, half from the region and half from the rest of the world.
The six sessions will be devoted to the following subthemes:
1. The Newly Industrializing Economies
2. South Asia in the World-Economy
3. South East Asia in the World-Economy
4. The South Pacific
5. China and the World-Economy
6. Japan and the World-Economy
The Colloquium will deal with the developments in the six subregions, to relate them to each other, and relate the developments in the Asian region to developments in other regions of the world.
GEMDEV, a federation of teaching and research structures in Paris concerned with development issues and world-systems studies, organized a meeting of 15-20 people in Paris on February 4-5, 1993, in which the Fernand Braudel Center participated. Representatives of groups in Brazil, Quebec, Belgium, and Russia also participated.
The meeting discussed generally what we thought a world-system was, and where this one was heading. At the end, the group decided that they wished to create a formal network, of a not too bureaucratic nature. Basically, it decided on the following:
a) the group would be called Réseau d'Analyse du
Systeme-Monde; GEMDEV would be its secretariat;
b) the structures represented at this first meeting
would be
asked to formally "adhere"; others could be admitted later;
c) the papers for this first meeting would be published
in
Cahiers du GEMDEV;
d) the network would have an information bulletin, which
GEMDEV agreed to administer for the time being;
e) there would be future meetings, for which there are
the
following possibilities:
Rio, January/February 1994, in conjunction with a
much
larger meeting being organized;
Moscow, September 1995, in conjunction with the
meeting
of the IGU;
Brussels
(b) Historia a Debate
This meeting was organized primarily by the Univ. de Santiago de Compostela within the framework of the Xacobeo 93. It was held in Santiago de Compostela on July 7-11, 1993. The Fernand Braudel Center was a co-sponsor.
(c) XVII Political Economy of the World-System Conference
This was held at Cornell University on April 15-17, 1993 on the theme "Food and Agricultural Systems in the World-Economy." The program was as follows:
(d) XVIII Political Economy of the World-System Conference
It will be held at the University of California, Irvine on April 7-9, 1994 on the theme, "A New World Order? Global Transformations in the Late Twentieth Century." The description of the theme follows:
The closing years of the twentieth century will be remembered as a time of tumultuous change. At the global level, by the early 1990's the post World War II Pax Americana and Cold War appear to be over. The United States' unchallenged hegemony has given way to a multicentric world-economy where both economic and geopolitical leadership is shifting and "up for grabs." Meanwhile, a new international industrial division of labor emerged during the last two decades in which an increasing proportion of global manufacturing is now done in the semiperiphery and periphery. But this "globalization" of industrialization has failed to either generate much improvement in living standards for most of the population of the Third World or lessen global inequality. Within capitalist core economies profound economic and political restructuring (and social polarization) have also taken place, as economies shift from "fordist" mass-production and consumption to more flexible "post-fordism." By the 1990's, the "East Bloc" of "actually existing socialist societies" are mn the throes of convulsive change, as the putatively immutable "totalitarian" states of Central Europe and the Soviet Union dissolve, fragment, and undergo traumatic economic "reforms." Beyond the various "regional" impacts, the end of the Soviet state socialist empire upsets the "great power" equilibrium that developed over forty years, resulting in geopolitical uncertainty, instability, and upheaval. Simultaneously, the growing economic power of Japan and the "newly industrialized countries" (the so-called NICs) of East Asia may be heralding the beginning of the true "Pacific Century."
Understanding this set of changes, and how they relate to one another is both a daunting and an urgent task for social scientists. There is a need for an in-depth empirically-grounded analysis of the various transformations and how they are embedded in wider logics of global system development. How is world-wide economic restructuring in the late twentieth century best understood? How can this process be related to simultaneous changes in states and geopolitics? Does the concatenation of ruptures, crises, and disjunctions of such magnitude mean that we are in a "band of transition" where the basic nature of the world-system is undergoing fundamental change? Or is this just another phase in the evolution of global capitalism? What types of differential impacts will these transformations have, not only on regions, nations, and world-system zones, but also on relations of class, gender, and race within these social formations? What are the prospects that popular social movements can successfully resist the predations of transnational capital epitomized in the ideologies of neo-liberalism and privatization, and embodied in IMF "structural adjustment" programs in the periphery and "hollowing out" and creation of "underclasses" in the core?
To coherently address this set of issues, following subthemes will be explored:
(a) The nature and extent of the "transformation" of the world-economy and the meaning of "restructuring." The key questions here involve the extent to which the changes are really "new" and/or basic. Do "flexible accumulation," "post-fordism," or the "globalization of production" signal a fundamental change in international capitalism? Is this another phase of world-system development? A "band of transition"? Or truly a new world order? And just what exactly (if anything) is it that is being "restructured"?
(b) Changing geopolitics and possible international re-alignments. What is the impact of the end of the Cold War on world politics? How does the demise of "the evil empire" of the Soviet bloc change power relationships within and between the advanced capitalist economies? Does it alter the political relationship between the core and the periphery, opening up possibilities for new forms of transnational neo-imperialism? Are we on the brink of international re-alignment and the emergence of new global economic and military alliances?
(c) Regional transformations: nascent core-based superstates, political fragmentation, and the rise of "new nationalisms" else where. At the same time North American moves toward a "free trade agreement" and the prospect of a unified western Europe remains strong, ethnic hatred and resurgent nationalisms are rekindled in the old Soviet Bloc and throughout the periphery. Can we relate core political consolidation to the fissiparous relations in eastern Europe, central Asia, or throughout Africa? Are the reanimation of racism, nationalism, and ethnic hatred in various part of the world related to the shifting global economic and political dynamics referred to above? What do these forces bode for "democratization" efforts? Can we show there is an underlying global logic at work?
(d) The social terrain of economic restructuring. The trend toward "flexible production" in the past decade has been facilitated by neoliberal political and ideological policies (sometimes described as "global Reaganism" or "global Thatcherism") of privatization, "downsizing" of the public sectors, and disorganizing labor. Do these global changes take advantage of existing structures of gender, race, and class exploitation or create new ones? How have these processes lead to class polarization and redeployed racial and gender disparities in the core (ironically most pronounced in the leading "world cities")? How have they led to specific changes in semiperipheral and peripheral areas as well? Again, is there a global logic at work?
(e) New social movements and strategies for resistance. Focus on the role of "anti-systemic" forces at this critical juncture. How can new social movements of mobilized peoples in places like central Europe, South Africa, or the Middle East contribute to progressive change? How can particularly exploited groups like women and racial and ethnic people constructively resist restructuring?
