Book Reviews Arie Bloed (ed.), The Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe - Analysis and Basic Documents, 1972-1993, Dordrecht/Boston/London, Kluwer, XXIX + 1337 pages. Although the CSCE has gained new momentum in the years following the end of the cold war, it remains little known and information on its activities is scarce. This weighty book attempts to fill in this lacuna by making available the main documents adopted by the various CSCE organs. The documents are preceded by a 120-page introduction in which the genesis and development of the CSCE process are recalled. Although its ambitions are mainly descriptive, this part is made necessary by the thorough transformation experienced by the CSCE in recent years. Documents are classified by their source rather than by topic, but an issue index is provided. Preference has been given to substantive texts rather than to organizational matters. A great number of interpretative statements and reservations made by participating States are also included. Because of its comprehensive nature, this publication is likely to become an indispensable source for all scholars working on the CSCE. R.D.
