- This publication of the International Social Sciences Council "aims to present new areas of research, with special focus on theoretical debates, methodology, and comparative and cross-cultural research." Each issue of SOCIAL SCIENCE INFORMATION includes eight to ten articles grouped into one of the following sections: anthropology of food, biology and social life, rationality and society, studies of science, theory and methods, or trends and development. Articles on subjects such as the European Monetary System, rural communities and the law, and the medicalization of science news indicate the range of issues covered by Social Science Information. Occasionally, symposia are published on topics such as business schools and elite training or revisiting the theory of "Finalization in science." Text is in English or French (Katz).
