About this book

This book evaluates the strength of the rule of law in the South Caucasus, a volatile and strategically important region of the former Soviet Union. Contributors - all of whom who have lived and worked in Armenia, Azerbaijan or Georgia - tackle this question from the perspectives of both law and politics. A wide range of specific issues are addressed, including corruption in the justice system, forced migration, telecommunications and environmental protection.

Reviews

'...an informative and well written book...essential reading for anyone interested in rule of law discourse in general or the legal reform in post-revolutionary societies in particular.' - Sudhir Krishnaswamy, The Law and Politics
