Editors' Note: The following essay was originally submitted as a book review. As John Walton notes in his introduction, modern urban sociology has its roots in German and French traditions. Since this essay reviews the most important recent developments in German urban social science, we have taken the unusual step of treating this review essay as an article in the context of this symposium on European urban social science.

Structural analysis and strategic research design: Studying politicized interorganizational networks
(1987)
Network analysis and structural sociology have given relatively little attention to questions of research design and data collection. This paper discusses the substantive implications of conducting structural analysis with more intensive work on research design and data collection. Based on evidence from a case study of a politicized social structure, the major features of strategic research design are presented in a discussion of cognitive and behavioral data, types of ties, multiplexity, and access restrictions.
This paper develops a basic causal model describing the effects of factors such as socialisation, rural-urban background, current occupation, perceived job stressors and locus of control as determinants of psychological distress in a sample of Nigerian factory workers. The analysis builds upon major results and theories of causation of psychological distress in African populations experiencing high rates of social change. Findings regarding perceived job stressors are similar to results found in Western samples, but the findings concerning the effects of cognitive attribution tendencies contrast with what is usually found in Western samples The ensuing discussion of the reasons for such differences emphasises basic themes in the sociogenesis of psycho logical distress in an African context.
Der Aufsatz interpretiert die Ergebnisse einer Befragung von Kölner Schriftstellern. Mit Hilfe der Blockmodellanalyse werden die Autoren in vier Subgruppen (Elite, Nachwuchselite, Peripherie, etablierte Peripherie) eingeteilt. Die Subgruppen werden in ihrer Binnenstruktur und in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander näher bestimmt. In einem zweiten Schritt wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit es sich bei der Sozialposition des Literaten um eine ökonomisch, ästhetisch und sozial instabile Position handelt und welche Beziehungsmuster in der Lage sind,
die instabile Position abzufedern und zu integrieren. Für die vier Subgruppen ergeben sich dabei unterschiedliche Positions- und Beziehungsmuster.
