of
a
remarkably
viable
representative
govern-
ment
and
constitutionalism
in
the
western
sense.
Nevertheless,
real
progress
in
worldwide
international
law
and
organization
calls
for
more realism
about
deep-rooted
cultural
differences,
and
a
correspond-
ing
modesty
concerning
the
standard
legal
rhetoric
of
the
West.

To
any
person interested
in
problems
of
development
aid
these
three
books
are
useful
but
in varying measure.
Each
is
designed
to
add
a
different dimension
to
theory
and
experience
in
a
relatively
new
and
still
scantily
described area
in
relations
between
nations.
Robinson
has
edited
a
collection
of
papers,
all
of
which
have

appeared

The
