Samuel L. Popkin
Professor of Political Science
Ph.D., MIT, 1969
Voting Behavior, Political Economy, Comparative Politics
Popkin has published in unusually diverse areas. His most recent book is The Candidate: What it Takes to Win (and Hold) the White House. Earlier he authored The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns ; co-authored Issues and Strategies: The Computer Simulation of Presidential Campaigns; and he co-edited Chief of Staff: Twenty-Five Years of Managing the Presidency. He is equally well known for his work on peasant society, with particular reference to East and Southeast Asia, including The Rational Peasant: The Political Economy of Rural Society in Vietnam. Popkin has also been a consulting analyst in presidential campaigns, serving as consultant to the Clinton campaign on polling and strategy, to the CBS News election units from 1983 to 1990 on survey design and analysis, and more recently to the Gore campaign. He has also served as consultant to political parties in Canada and Europe and to the Departments of State and Defense. His current research focuses on presidential campaigns and the relationship of public opinion to foreign policy.
Popkin develops a model of rational peasant behavior and shows how village procedures result from the self-interested interactions of peasants. This political economy view of peasant behavior stands in contrast to the model of a distinctive peasant moral economy in which the village community is primarily responsible for ensuring the welfare of its members.

隻讀瞭一遍,村莊如何迴應來自外部的製度變化的壓力,一些細節非常精彩。
評分斯波論戰名動一時,但通讀可知兩人不自覺地討論瞭完全不同的問題:斯氏關注殖民時代國傢推展市場和現代化時腐蝕村落的生活有機共同體和衝擊舊道義紐帶而激起懷舊式反抗,形成道義與危機的循環;波氏則描繪前殖民和殖民時代行政村落內形成的不完備風險對抗、福利和公共設施環境所造成的農民個人衝動被共黨及地方宗教采為資源,以政治經濟手段有組織解決集體行動睏境,發起有組織對抗國傢體製並構建新民族國傢的前瞻革命。兩者可比較的頂多是前殖民和殖民時代,後殖民時期由於各地管理手段不一、相對和平與戰爭條件不同、成型組織間政治軍事對抗凸顯集體行動問題、國傢建構進展等一係列變化,需要關注傳統組織破壞與重構方可作比較。波氏頂多可批判道義經濟視角的隨意推廣化,但他自己的個人理性—政治經濟視角很難說否定瞭前者的意義,相互補充完全可能。
評分給一本學術著作五星,不代錶說的全對,而是有相當的參考價值。波普金完善瞭舒爾茨的理論,生成瞭“理性小農”學派的核心觀點,為後人進一步研究打下瞭堅實的基礎。在這裏不得不再次感嘆新古典令人贊嘆的自洽性,隻要假設對瞭,全程就是嚴絲閤縫的論證,真是連根針都插不進去hhh;不過還是那句話,假設對嗎?我在讀舒爾茨時感覺理性小農不等於理性人小農,在這本書中我的感受加深瞭。可以說,小農是理性的,但新古典理論中的小農是經濟理性的,理性與經濟理性之間的差距在哪裏?誰搞明白瞭這個問題,誰就抓住瞭農民問題的金鑰匙。
