Abstract
Dr. Mitchell explores organizational, methodological, and ideological obstacles to the healthy development of survey research in Asia and Latin America. He notes a one-sided emphasis on teaching, various obsolete habits of French-type universities, the absence of administrative and political autonomy on the part of university research institutes, the lack of methodological concern and sophistication on the part of those who conduct survey research, and the often irrelevant intrusion of ideo logical concerns into the research situation. The author is Coordinator of International Research at the Survey Research Center of the Uni versity of California at Berkeley.
