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.

The Emancipation of Soviet Law
Author: Ferdinand Feldbrugge
Publisher: Springer
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The political, economic, and social reforms resulting from Gorbachev's perestroika have become more radical and comprehensive throughout the years. Increasingly, in their implementation, a central role has been accorded to law. The construction of a viable democratic system, the establishment of an economy in which market factors are decisive, the readmittance of a pluralistic civil society, all of them presuppose, in the eyes of the present Soviet leadership, the creation of a reliable legal foundation. Legislative activity in the Soviet Union during the past few years has therefore been hectic. At the same time, while law was being used as an instrument of change, the character of Soviet law itself was deeply affected. From being the obedient servant of a totalitarian master, law is becoming the core element of a new order in which its supremacy is accepted as the starting point for redesigning all the major sectors of social life. In this volume a number of leader Western experts consider the practical effect of this emancipatory process on the most important branches of Soviet law and investigate its philosophical dimensions.
