...jure representatives of all of China because they were the last to be chosen in freely contested elections, ending in 1948. According to a school of diplomatic thought dating back to Woodrow Wilson, only constitutionally elected governments should be acceptable to the community of nations. The Nationalists can also cite a more widely held point of international law, the so-called "Ethiopian Principle," which dates from 1938 when Emperor Haile Selassie was in hiding from his country's Italian invaders. Rome then sought international recognition of its sovereignty over Ethiopia but was rebuffed on the grounds that so long...
...shared at Harvard. At other universities (the University of Illinois at Urbana is the most recent example) since then, other similar government-orchestrated sessions have been prevented from taking place.

They might also suggest that corruption is simply another means of "interest articulation...
...critics of the Chicago machine are members of the Non-Partisan Committee to Re-Elect Mayor Daley. They argue that somehow, Mayor Daley manages to govern a big city, which is a lot more than flashy reformers like John Lindsay seem to be doing. They also cite the many achievements of the Daley administration and all the buildings he's erected. When he won re-election earlier this month, editorial writers all over the country sighed and spent a lot of ink marveling at his ability to rally popular support...
