The search for a conceptual framework for interpreting the political evolution of the new states has led to a renewal of interest in charisma. Some writers, such as Shils, have used the concept of charisma to explain the problem of political integration; others, such as Wallerstein and Apter, have used it to indicate how political integration may be furthered. The use of charisma as a conceptual tool for illuminating the problem of political integration is taking on the character of a theory, which we call the theory of charismatic legitimation. This paper attempts an evaluation of this theory. Charismatic legitimation is the process of creating loyalty for the new state through the personal influence of the charismatic leader. This crude definition could bear further clarification. But we shall seek clarification by examining the theory of charismatic legitimation rather than by framing more abstract definitions.

A discussion of the changing relationship between culture & language resulting from the political integration of Western Europe. It is argued that if economic & financial considerations control the processes of European unity, cultural decay & degeneration will be the outcome. The Dutch language will disappear only if the Netherlands accepts cultural indifference. It is recommended that the Dutch government assertively take responsibility for maintaining Dutch cultural identity while remaining open-minded about other European cultures. This combination of cultural identity, sovereignty, & respect for other cultures implies cultural universalism. D. Schwartz
