LEGAL CHANGE IN POST-COMMUNIST STATES - PROGRES...

Reformers had high hopes that the end of communism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union would lead to significant improvements in legal institutions and the role of law in
public administration. However  the cumulative experience of 25 years of legal change since
communism has been mixed  marked by achievements and failures  advances and moves backward.
This book-written by a team of socio-legal scholars-probes the nuances of this process and
starts the process to explain them. It covers developments across the former Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe  and it deals with both legal institutions (courts and police) and
accountability to law in public administration  including anti-corruption activities. In
explaining their findings  the authors probe the impact of such factors as the type of
political regime (democratic to authoritarian)  international influences (such as the European
Union)  and culture (legal and political). The volume's contributors are: Mihaela Serban  Kim
Lane Scheppele  Kriszta Kovacs  Alexei Trochev  Peter Solomon  Olga Semukhina  Maria Popova 
Vincent Post. Marina Zaloznaya  William Reisinger  Vicki Hesli Claypool  Kaja Gadowska  and
Elena Bogdanova.
