Transformation in Russia and International Law
Author: Tarja Långström
Publisher: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN: 9789004137547
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
Since the end of the Cold War the relationship between the internal constitution of a state and its international behaviour has been a subject of much scholarly interest. Assuming that this connection matters the author analyses the transformation from the USSR to the Russian Federation. Does a liberal Russia behave better than the non-liberal USSR? Are Russia's attitudes towards international law different than those of the former USSR? How much continuity is there and how much change has occurred in the scholarship of international law in Russia? How are Russia's treaties made and implemented? What is the role of international law in the Russian legal system? The author shows that international human rights played an important role in the Soviet "perestroika" and in the subsequent reforms in the Russian Federation. She argues that at the surface level the transformation in Russia has been remarkable, notably so with regard to the role of international law in the domestic legal system. Drawing from a wide range of materials - Soviet/Russian history, legislation, court cases and doctrinal writings - the book takes a cultural and historical perspective to analysis of legal change.

Perestroika and the Rule of Law
Author: William E. Butler
Publisher: I.B. Tauris
ISBN: 9781850433163
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
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.

Russia, Europe, and the Rule of Law
Author: Ferdinand J.M. Feldbrugge
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047411641
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
During the last two decades Russia has gone through a process of radical political and socio-economic transformation. The legal system has reflected the various stages of this process and has also been a major agent in moving it forward. The country is at a crossroads now. External observers are sharply divided in evaluating the performance and intentions of the Russian leadership. Russia itself is involved in finding out where it stands. What sort of federation does it want to be? How will it define its relationship to Europe and to its former sister republics? The answers to such questions fundamentally affect the future shape of Russian law. At the same time, existing legal structures may predetermine the course Russia will take.
