Reviews

'Chauchard's study is yet an important one that pursues its objectives rigorously. This is certainly reflected in his exhaustive discussion on terminology and his review on the domain of reservations ... Chauchard's study is undoubtedly one that cannot be ignored by scholars and students of political systems. Even general readers will be enriched in terms of understanding the dynamics between values and prejudices of people, social policy and its implementation and social research.' Chandni Girija, Aigne
