Water in the Middle East: Conflict or Cooperation?

European roots of Russian doctrine than the present reviewer would), and Soviet concepts of peaceful coexistence, socialist international law, sovereignty and self-determination. Soviet foreign policy and state practice he rightly sees as reflecting a combination of constant and variable factors from the preand post-1917 periods. He gives much attention to Soviet alliance policy since the mid-1950s in part 2 and to key "frontier" issues, including Afghanistan and, above all, relations with the German Democratic Republic. Given his generational and geopolitical roots, it is not surprising that Far Eastern and Arctic concerns figure slightly in Meissner's perception of the key postwar issues. The essays have been beautifully reset, apparently without changes—the opportunity to rectify a few infelicities not having been seized. It is to Meissner and his associates that we also owe two splendid bibliographies on Soviet public and private international law, a contribution overlooked by Mahnke in his foreword. International lawyers will welcome this collection of Meissner's thoughtful reflections, and some may be inspired enough to consult collateral volumes containing his evaluations of Soviet domestic affairs and social structure.
