The research was facilitated by support from the General Electric Foundation (U.S.A.), the Institute of International Studies, and the Institute of Business and Economic Research, both of the University of California, Berkeley. The study was also assisted by the generosity and cooperation of the following institutions during my sabbatical stay in Britain in 1971: the Department of Politics, University of Reading; the Department of Industrial Relations, London School of Economics and Political Science; and the Institute of United States Studies, the University of London. I wish to thank the many colleagues in Britain and the United States who read and commented constructively upon the earlier version of this paper. They, of course, are not responsible for any errors of fact or interpretation herein. Finally, the virtually collegial assistance on this project of Mr Kenneth Absalom, M.A., Oxford University 1973, M.B.A., University of California Berkeley, 1975, is gratefully acknowledged.
