* Similar lists have been printed in the Review annually since 1911, except for 1915–19, 1921 and 1923–24; full citations are given in the 1955 list, XLIX, 792.
Items which appeared in the September, 1957, list and which are still in preparation without change are not repeated in this listing. The present listing contains only additions, changes and deletions. Additions are those items which were reported in preparation for the first time; changes are those items which have had a change in name, title, or classification; and deletions are those items which are no longer in preparation.
In cases where classification of an item has been suggested by the institution concerned, the suggestion has been followed. Each item is listed under one classification only.
The lists printed in the Review are based on information from departments giving graduate instruction in political science. Often dissertations are in progress in departments of economics, history, sociology, etc., which overlap or supplement dissertations in preparation in political science. Attention is called especially to the following lists: “Current Research Projects in Public Administration” (reported to Public Administration Service), the most recent edition of which appeared in 1951; “Doctoral Dissertations in Political Economy in Progress in American Colleges and Universities,” in the American Economic Review; “List of Doctoral Dissertations in History Now in Progress,” published annually by the Division of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution through 1938, and since then by the American Historical Association, as supplements to the American Historical Review (1940 and 1941), as Vol. III of its Annual Report (1941), and as separate publications (1947, 1949 and 1952); and “Doctoral Dissertations in Sociology,” in the American Journal of Sociology. Consult also the “External Research List,” published by the Office of Intelligence Research, Department of State. These are in addition to the “List of American Doctoral Dissertations Printed in 1938,” the most recent of an annual series published by the Library of Congress; and Arnold H. Trotier and Marian Harman, “Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1952–53,” the twentieth of a series beginning in 1933–34, compiled for the Association of Research Libraries. Consult, for other lists, T. R. Palfrey and H. E. Coleman, Jr., “Guide to Bibliographies of Theses, United States and Canada” (Chicago, American Library Association, 2nd ed., 1940).
Abstracts of some of the theses listed as completed may be found in “Dissertations Abstracts,” published bi-monthly by University Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The compiler of this list is indebted to Professor York Y. Willbern, Director of the Bureau of Government Research, Indiana University, for the chart below which lists, by subject category, the number of dissertations completed and in progress, 1951 through 1957. In the “dissertations completed” group, the percentages by field for the 1951–57 period are as follows: international relations—27; comparative government—18; American politics—14; theory—12; state-local—12; public administration—11; and public law—6. There appear to be no significant trends during the seven years, unless the rise in state-local dissertations during the last two years should be considered worth noting. Finally, it may be noted that international relations has a substantially higher percentage of dissertations in progress than it has of dissertations completed, high as that proportion is.
