Pages : 206
Book Description
"The cornerstone of the Gorbachev reforms is the formation of a 'rule-of-law State', contemplating for the first time in Russian history the building of a society founded upon legal principles and values shared by the leading Western democracies. Whatever the outcome, these efforts have given rise to a remarkable debate about the rule and role of law in society, the requisite democratic institutions essential to achieve the rule of law, the role of the Constitution, and the doctrine of separation of powers. In this pioneering dialogue, jurists of Anglo-American and Soviet socialist legal backgrounds explore the nature of law and the rule of law, the sources of law, the role of the Constitution, the meaning of pluralism, the status of political parties, glasnost and individual rights with a view to enriching the legislative process in the Soviet Union and developing comparative insights of larger import. The contributors are: W.E. Butler, R.Z. Livshits, M.D.A. Freeman, S.V. Polenina, E.V. Kumanin, A.D.H. Oliver, V.L. Entin, N.P. Koldaeva, J. Henderson, V.P. Kazimirchuk, G. Drewry, V. Gobdanor and M.M. Slavin. The book will be of interest to all those concerned with the Soviet legal system, comparative law and the role of law in Soviet society"--Unedited summary from book jacket.
Perestroika in Perspective

Book Description
Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika is a historic effort at restructuring the troubled Soviet economy. Wide-ranging in scope, harnessed with cultural and political reforms, it raises intriguing and important questions: Are Gorbachev's ideas different from the Kosygin-Brezhnev reform of 1965 that came to naught? What kinds of problems do the Russians have in understanding the market system? Who opposes perestroika? Do Gorbachev's proposals threaten his own future as Soviet leader? How does perestroika relate to a more general environment of openness, of glasnost? What happened at the June 1988 Party Conference? And, above all, is the old order really giving way to a new one? Or does Gorbachev aim at "capitalist icing on a socialist cake"?. To answer these questions and others, Padma Desai, a distinguished pioneer in the modern econometric analysis of the Soviet economy, has distilled from Gorbachev's myriad decrees the outlines of his strategy for doing away with the Soviet Union's long-term economic malaise. Focusing on the key areas of industry, agriculture, services, and foreign trade, she discusses specific blueprints for change and evaluates the possibilities for their success. Skillfully combining charts, photographs, cartoons, and quotes, this book offers a unique and coherent view of the strategy underlying Gorbachev's reform efforts to date--and does so gracefully and with sparkle, in terms completely understandable to the layperson.
