What many of the current academic and think-tank plans recommend is a reconciliation in Viet Nam beginning at the very lowest levels: hamlet, village, province. This approach is variously described as federal, pluralistic or decentralized. Kahn bluntly calls it Balkanization. It would begin with what the Asia Society's Kenneth T. Young calls a "patchwork of local negotiations" in which warring Communists and non-Communists in a small area would come to terms, make their own local truces and work out their own modus vivendi for governing their localities.

In applying the law, in his view, the Justices should not be as concerned as they sometimes have been in "squeezing" judicial decisions into a neat pattern. They should instead make full use of all the modern tools; not only law, but medicine, psychiatry, mass psychology, economics and social engineering...
