In the former Eastern Bloc countries, one of the most important,
and most difficult, aspects of the transition to democracy has been
the establishment of constitutional justice and the rule of law.
Herman Schwartz's wide-ranging book is the first to chronicle and
analyze the rise of constitutional courts in this changing region.
Beginning with a brief history of the courts prior to 1989,
Schwartz draws on his expertise as a constitutional scholar and
long-time adviser to many of these countries to compare their
jurisprudence with relevant American and West European law. He then
focuses in detail on the relative success stories of Poland and
Hungary, where the courts faced little opposition, and the more
problematic situations in Russia, Slovakia and Bulgaria, where the
courts' independence and very existence were threatened by both
old-line communists and new-style authoritarians. With a wealth of
historical and other information, backed up by a massive array of
research, the book is a remarkably rich, yet accessible, source for
anyone interested in the ongoing struggles of post-Communist
Europe.
