This volume is a product of the Program of Training and Research on Center-Periphery Tensions of the Center for International Studies of Cornell University. Financed by a three-year grant from the Ford Foundation, the program brought together scholars in political science, anthropology, history, economics, and regional planning with a common interest in the changing territorial conflict structure of industrial societies. In addition to sponsoring a number of occasional papers and individual works, the program was responsible for another collective volume, Ethnic Conflict in the Western World,edited by Milton J. Esman (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1977). The present volume was the result of a continuing workshop on center-periphery tensions in industrial societies that was run under the aegis of the program.
