Preface HE pages that follow represent an effort to combine two J. interests, one in international relations theory, the other in Soviet foreign policy, in a way which may prove beneficial to our understanding of both areas of inquiry. In the conception and writing of this book I have been greatly aided by the counsel of Professors Alexander Dallin of Columbia's Russian Institute and William T. R. Fox of Colum bia's Institute of War and Peace Studies; their interest, time, and criticisms are gratefully acknowledged. The faults which remain in this book are my own; there would have been others had I not benefited from their penetrating comments. I should also like to thank the Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants for having made it possible for me to spend a semester in the Soviet Union during 1966—thus providing the opportunity to meet Soviet scholars and to gain access to dissertations on deposit in the Lenin Library in Moscow. Finally, I should like to thank my wife, Barbara, not only for having contributed materially to the substance and intelli gibility of this inquiry, but also for having borne with me during the many metamorphoses through which this manu script has passed.
