East European Faces of Law and Society: Values and Practices
Series: - Law in Eastern Europe, Volume: 63
Editor:
This volume offers readers a multi-layer analysis of issues of law and society in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, and Ukraine. This collection of thought-provoking essays deals with a wide range of subject matter including constitutional, administrative, civil, and criminal law, as well as aspects of legal culture, corruption, corporate social responsibility, and informal practices of judiciaries. Throughout the volume, readers are given not only a comparative perspective of current practices but are also offered a historical glimpse of law and philosophy in the region. The conclusions and analysis offered by these authors - from the ''East'" as well as from the ''West'' - are supported by survey data, literature, legislation, and court practice in the region and abroad.
William B. Simons is a Visiting Professor at the University of Tartu’s Institute of Constitutional and International Law and Centre for EU-Russian Studies and is also Professor Emeritus of East European Law at Leiden University. His publications are in the field of Russian, East European and comparative law.
"The book captures well the state of research and writing on law and society across the post-communist space and points toward future lines of examination."
