428 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1976)

The Bicentennial of the United States presents an appropriate opportunity
to examine the consequences flowing from the events of 1776 and 1787.
A substantial part of this examination quite properly should be devoted
to internal affairs: the Constitution and its arrangement of political
institutions; federal relations; the Judiciary and judicial review; the
bureaucracy; and, not least, civil and political liberties as they affect the
standing of the individual within the system of government that has
evolved. The July volume of the ANNALS contained a set of papers on these
and related matters.
This volume deals with the same basic themes, but in relationship to
their impact abroad. External influences normally do not lend themselves
to the precision of measurement or judgment possible in studies of internal
processes. In the international world of political events, influences join
or blend with others, and generally accepted norms replace direct transfers
of institutions from any one center to another. Nevertheless, the presence
and activity of the United States abroad have made differences: often fruitful
and welcomed, but not always so.
The authors of the articles contained in this volume have approached
their themes thoughtfully, candidly, and with a rare sharing of their
considered wisdom. I am appreciative of all of these qualities, and for the
cooperation of the authors. We do not presume to have covered all of the
potential strands of analysis that might have been selected. This collection,
however, spreads widely in time, place, and theme, and should provide
a useful review for its purpose.
