Although there is no international government, and no global police
agency enforces the rules, nations obey international law. In this
provocative study, Franck employs a broad range of historical, legal,
sociological, anthropological, political, and philosophical modes of
analysis to unravel the mystery of what makes states and people
perceive rules as legitimate. Demonstrating that virtually all nations
obey most rules nearly all of the time, Franck reveals that the more
legitimate laws and institutions appear to be, the greater is their
capacity for compliance. Distilling those factors which increase the
perception of legitimacy, he shows how a community of rules can be
fashioned from a system of sovereign states _without_ creating a
global leviathan.
