One of the most famous papers ever presented at a history of science meeting was 'The Socio-Economic Roots of Newton's Principia given by the Soviet physicist Boris Hessen at the Second International Congress of the History of science, held in London in 1931. Although many scholars at the Congress were impressed by Hessen's thesis that intellectual achievements such as Newton's are best explained by examining the social context out of which they arose, oddly enough no one thought to apply this sort of analysis to Hessen's achievement An examination of Soviet Russia in 1931, a time of great political and economic stress, shows that both Soviet physics and Hessen personally were under very unusual pressures. Hessen's main concern in previous months had been to protect Einstein's relativity theory from attacks by vulgar Marxist ideologists. Hessen 's paper on Newton was carefully crafted to support this defensive effort and simultaneously was aimed at strengthening Hessen's own political situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Combining archival, ethnographic, vital, and oral historical data, this paper compares the experiences of population growth and demographic transi tion among different social classes of a Sicilian rural town from 1850 to the pres ent. Four locally named groups have dominated this town's social life during most of the period in question—gentry, artisans, landed, and landless peasants. Of particular concern are the contrasting patterns of demographic transition be tween the gentry and artisanry, and a consideration of why, in both cases, fertility decline occurred earlier than among landless peasants. Comparison underscores the theoretical advantage of disaggregating population change in relation to historical context and social class.

In democracies throughout the world, intra-party factions manifest themselves in parties and governments. Formal and informal institutions have, however, proved crucial in managing factionalism. This is especially true in Thailand's emerging parliamentary democracy where the management of factionalism has become a major objective for Thai parties. This study explores factions and factionalism as well as how different types of parties try to manage intra-party dissension especially in the case of Thailand. The findings suggest that management style tends to be a function of a party's organization, with parties which practice a collegial style tending to be the more successful in controlling intra-party cliques over time. At the same time, the most important tools which party leaderships can use to control factions are the careful use of constitutional provisions and manipulation of party finance.

Klein, Tobias RobertTobias Robert Klein studied musicology
African studies and computer science at Humboldt-Universität Berlin where he currently teaches as a Privatdozent at the Institut für Musikwissenschaft and Medienwissenschaft alongside his participation in the joint German-Austrian-Swiss research program “Writing Music.” His publications and research interests are equally divided between the musical (and literary) cultures of Western Europe and West Africa (in particular Ghana). He is currently preparing an edition of selected letters of Carl Dahlhaus Stephen Hinton is the Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University. Before moving to Stanford
he taught at Yale University and before that at the Technische Universität Berlin where he served as Carl Dahlhaus’s academic assistant (“wissenschaftlicher Assistent”). His principal research focuses on the music of German-speaking lands from the classical period through the present. Together with the St. Lawrence String Quartet he recently created Defining the String Quartet a series of online courses that focus on the music of Haydn and Beethoven.

In the foreword to his Grundlagen der Musikgeschichte (1977), translated into English as Foundations of Music History (1983), Carl Dahlhaus names three reasons for writing the book: the lack of theoretical reflection in his own field;the problem of mediation between methodological maxims and their political implications;and the difficulties he encountered while preparing his history of nineteenth-century music. Each of the three reasons can now be understood more precisely and historically contextualized in light of recently uncovered letters and notes. Dahlhaus's methodological critiques of political music as conceptually distinct from aesthetically autonomous works-contrary to a popular claim by Anne Shreffler (2003)-were directed mainly at the "Western left." Moreover, in the 1980s this controversy became intertwined with historiographical questions regarding the concept of "event" that was reinforced in publications by the "Gruppe Poetik and Hermeneutik." A postscript discusses the English translation of the book and the concept of "structural history" in late Dahlhaus.
