I am grateful to the participants at the conference on "Contemporary Legal Scholarship: Achievements and Prospects," sponsored by the Cegla Institute for Comparative and Private International Law and held at Tel Aviv University, for a lively discussion of an earlier draft of this essay, and especially to Eyal Benvenisti for his careful and helpful comments. Thanks also are due to Nitya Iyer and Amnon Reichman with whom I have had many informative conversations about the ideas worked out here.
