This title was first published in 2003: The problem of legitimacy
and legality is one of the key issues of modern thought and nowhere
more intensely debated than in the countries of the former Soviet
bloc. Under the communist system, symbols of modern government had
been supplemented and changed in order to serve the totalitarian
domination of the Party and all spheres of life, including law,
were subsumed within this framework of ideological legitimation.
Following the anti-communist revolutions of 1989, former communist
societies started the historically unprecedented process of
transformation from the totalitarian into liberal democratic
society, a transformation which has produced much soul-searching
and heated debate. In this book, the author sets out to prove that
concern with legitimacy belongs neither exclusively to the legal
system nor to a political system separated and distanced from the
legal system. The topic of legitimacy and legitimation is
inseparable from legality and every legitimation eventually looks
for its transformation into legal legitimacy.
