23 See, for example, Gabriel A. Almond and James S. Coleman, eds., The Politics of the Developing Areas (Princeton i960). The concept of totalitarianism may have been an inhibition upon comparative treatment of non-Communist and Communist “developing areas.” Thus in an earlier fourfold classification of political systems, Almond characterized the developing countries under the heading of “pre-industrial political systems” while placing communism in the classification “totalitarian political systems.” See his “Comparative Political Systems,” Journal of Politics, xvni (August 1956), 391409.Google Scholar
