Book Description
We must recognize that the young in many areas of the world today are in the midst of a revolution against the status quo. Their anger is turned on the system which has allowed poverty, illiteracy and oppression to flourish for centuries. We must recognize one central fact: they will prevail. They will achieve their idealistic goals, one way or another. If they have to pull governments tumbling down over their heads, they will do it. But they are going to win a share of the new world. This affects... Canada and the United States, and you and me. Our future is tied up with what they think. Like it or not, what they are going to do will have a direct impact on us. We, in turn, are part of their revolution. At least we should be ^ - Robert F. Kennedy. Around the world, students are a growing political force. The Communist enterprise, many allege, has used the International Union of Students to politically exploit and utilize the energies and enthusiasms of student groups. This, surely, is a phenomenon worth analyzing. The purpose of this study is not to show why many modern students are radical in their political sympathies. Nor is it to produce a definitive and singular history of the lUS. Both tasks would be interesting, and possibly fruitful; both, however, are beyond the scope of this work. The purpose of this paper, speaking broadly, is to analyze the distinctive characteristics of the International Union of Students. ^From a speech delivered by Mr. Kennedy in Toronto, Ontario, in early 1964, as reported in Human Events , XXIV, 23 (June 26, 1964), p.2. More narrowly, the purpose of this inquiry is to determine the useful ness of one specific conceptual tool - that forged by Philip Selznick in his book, The Organizational Weapon ^ - in understanding the lUS. In that sense, this study may be considered a microcosmic analysis of the adequacy of present Western thinking on Communist strategy and organizational techniques. Professor Selznick*s study is not unique in the field, of course. It has been utilized because it is widely-read, comprehensive, ambitious, and - at least in the writer's opinion - persuasive. It makes broad claims. There is another factor, perhaps as important while there are other works in the area, few are as well-known and widely-used as Selznick's. In the field of such theories. The Organizational Weapon stands as something of a landmark. Whether it is, in addition, a guidepost or lighthouse is something we will have to consider in the pages that follow. The plan of this study is quite simple and - at least hopefully - straightforward. First, Selznick's model is outlined in some detail, and analyzed for its empirically testable implications. Second, a brief history is set out of Communism's endeavors - both theoretical and organizational - in the field of youth and students. Finally, the usefulness of the Selznick model in this area is determined by testing its empirical assertions against the concrete and 2Glencoe: The Free Press, 1960, second edition. available data on the lUS. Neither the second nor the last chapter purports to be a definitive or detailed criticism of the validity and pitfalls of sociological model-building. Chapter three is partly a factual frame of reference for a better understanding of the lUS, and partly an inquiry into the evolution of Communist tactical doctrine as it pertained to the revolutionary role of youth in general, and students in particular. Chapter four must not be taken as purporting to represent a universal criticism of the Selznick theory, for not all aspects of the theory are herein tested; only those related explicitly or implicitly to front organizations. On the other hand, a study of the validity of a part of a theory clearly carries some implications for the validity of the theory as a whole. These implications are only markers along the road, however, and not the road's destination.
