In this saga of brilliant triumphs and magnificent failures, David
E. Hoffman, the former Moscow bureau chief for the Washington Post,
sheds light on the hidden lives of Russia's most feared power
brokers: the oligarchs. Focusing on six of these ruthless men--
Alexander Smolensky, Yuri Luzhkov, Anatoly Chubais, Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, Boris Berezovsky, and Vladimir Gusinsky--Hoffman
shows how a rapacious, unruly capitalism was born out of the ashes
of Soviet communism.
This highly acclaimed textbook provides law students with a
thorough introduction to the Human Rights Act 1998, its background,
how it came to be passed and the mass of case law that has followed
it. The authors discuss the particular rights the Act embodies,
including the law's response to terrorism. Combining broad topic
coverage with an engaging writing style, Hoffman and Rowe provide
an outstanding platform for students wishing to gain an in-depth
and critical understanding of this contemporary, contentious and
constantly evolving area of law.
