Abstract

1986] BOOK REVIEWS within a short compass a firm grasp of the law in the country con­ cerned. Sweet's contribution is a good example of an extended anal­ ysis of a problem area in terms of underlying policies, an approach which needs to be more widely pursued. Rubino-Sammartano's pa­ per is written in an abbreviated style which does not make for easy reading, but contains some interesting comments. The book is less successful in its comparative law endeavor — th e extraction of commonly accepted core principles. This is in part because the attempt made by the co-directors of the Conference to impose on the papers a common structure was not entirely success­ ful. As a result, in some instances considerable effort is needed to identify in the complementary papers the passages dealing with the same issue, and to determine the extent to which a common solution has emerged. Furthermore, the two complementary papers are merely placed together, without any further attempt to identify common or divergent solutions. The book would have gained greatly in impact if the two complementary papers had been fol­ lowed by a short synthesis produced either by the authors jointly, or by th e
