Summary
"One of the core ideals of the world's first generation of post-communists has been the rule of law. This book explores the complexity both of the ideal itself, and of applying it in the conditions of post-communist Europe, the problems that are emerging and the prospects of success in planting and developing lawfulness in often unruly conditions."--Jacket.
