When the term is capitalized, it usually refers to the Responsive Communitarian movement of Amitai Etzioni and other philosophers.

The Communitarian Network, founded in 1993 by Amitai Etzioni, is the best-known group advocating communitarianism.

A think tank called the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies is also directed by Etzioni.

Etzioni illustrates how purposive / instrumental reasoning is subordinated by normative considerations ( ideas on how people ' ought ' to behave ) and affective considerations ( as a support system for the development of human relationships ).

Stung by criticism that the moon-base project has no real justification — 37 years ago, President Richard Nixon canceled the final planned Apollo moon missions because the program was accomplishing little at great expense ; as early as 1964, the communitarian theorist Amitai Etzioni was calling lunar obsession a “ moondoggle ”— NASA is selling the new plan as a second moon race, this time against Beijing.

Amitai Etzioni (( ah-me-tie et-zee-oh-nee ), born Werner Falk, 4 January 1929, Cologne, Germany ) is an Israeli-American sociologist.

Etzioni is known for his work on socioeconomics and communitarianism.

In all, Etzioni is the author of 24 books, many of which have been translated into numerous languages.

Etzioni contends the Primacy of Life serves as a moral rationale for a Security First foreign policy that is both principled and realistic.

Etzioni argues the core of this foreign policy agenda is the recognition that the most basic right of all people is to be free from deadly violence, maiming, and torture.

Instead of assuming that democratization will provide a political outlet for resolving conflicts of competing values and interests and thus for putting an end to major forms of destabilizing violence, Etzioni argues, a Security First foreign policy is centered on precisely the opposite assumption: democratization requires security first.

Etzioni further argues " sending high-risk sex offenders to live in such places is preferable to condemning them to life in prison ... or letting them loose among children " ( p. 74 ).

' Etzioni first identifies that the problem is limited to structural features which are unique to welfare service states.

In 2001, Etzioni was named among the top 100 American intellectuals as measured by academic citations in Richard Posner's book, Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline.

Etzioni has received many awards for his contributions to Sociology and was elected to serve as president of the American Sociological Association in 1995.

Some, such as John DiIulio and outside Bush adviser Marvin Olasky, favor religious solutions for communities, while others, like Etzioni and Galston, prefer secular approaches.

Regarding national ID cards, Etzioni argues in favor, writing that " people are secure in their identity, thereby allowing others to trust that they are who they claim to be " ( p. 125 ).

An alternative position on rationality ( which includes both bounded rationality ( Simons and Hawkins, 1949 ), as well as the affective and value-based arguments of Weber ) can be found in the critique of Etzioni ( 1988 ), who reframes thought on decision-making to argue for a reversal of the position put forward by Weber.

The term was coined by sociologist Amitai Etzioni, and appeared in the Washington Post on August 24, 1986 in the article " McJobs are Bad for Kids ".

In that time, Etzioni lived a year in Athens, went to Palestine, lived on a cooperative farm and went to boarding school.

Etzioni argues that the new global architecture must be based not only on Western principles of rights and liberty, but also on Eastern notions of community and authority.

Etzioni bases this claim on studies of altruism, saving behavior, voting, and support for public television.

Prideaux calls Etzioni guilty of imposing his Americanized version of community on the rest of the western world.

He has championed the cause of peace in a nuclear age in The Hard Way to Peace ( 1962 ), Winning Without War ( 1964 ), and War and its Prevention ( Etzioni and Wenglinsky, 1970 ).

Etzioni has been concerned to facilitate social movements that can sustain a liberal democracy in The Active Society: A Theory of Societal and Political Processes ( 1968 ) and A Responsive Society ( 1991 ).

Regarding the HIV testing of infants, Etzioni writes " Testing and counseling are much less costly than the treatment of infants infected with HIV " ( p. 42 ).

Regarding the identities of sex offenders, Etzioni writes convicted sex offenders who have completed their sentences should be transferred " to a guarded village or town where they are allowed to lead normal lives aside from the requirement that they stay put " ( p. 73 ).

Regarding the deciphering of encrypted messages, Etzioni writes " the dangers to public safety and national security of allowing criminals and terrorists free access to uncrackable encryption are particularly high " ( p. 102 ).

Some of the other terms used have been ( in chronological order ) on-line, computer-mediated ( Etzioni & Etzioni, 1999 ), electronic ( Wasko & Faraj, 2000 ) and distributed ( Hildreth, Kimble & Wright, 1998 ).
