The third edition of this highly respected textbook introduces
students of public administration to the practical issues of
administrative law. While useful to law school students, it is most
relevant to public management students. The presentation provides a
concise foundation to the history and theory of administrative law,
rule making, and judicial decisions. The most important issues in
administrative law are included-meaningful issues for present and
future administrators. A larger number of recent cases and other
up-to-date information will be found in the book in order to make
the student aware of the kinds of legal problems likely to be
encountered in public agencies. One or two cases illustrate each
problem at hand, rather than discussing numerous arcane court
decisions and technicalities of legal procedure, in order to sketch
the broad contours of the present law.
This book analyzes the evolution and operation of political
institutions in Russia from its emergence from the shadow of the
disintegrating Union of Soviet Socialist Republic through its first
decade as an independent state. Emphasizing structures and
problems, the main topics treated are constitutional development,
presidential-parliamentary relations, electoral politics, the party
system, and the search for a workable federalism, including
descriptions of principal people and events.
Combining a journalist's view of major trials with a
political-legal analysis, this text gives a picture of the politics
of justice in Russia. Coverage of major court cases ranges from the
1961 trial of the currency speculators to the Communist Party trial
of 1992.
The contributors to this volume - all specialists on Soviet law and
politics - offer a comprehensive examination of the effort to
create a "law-based" state in the Gorbachev-era U.S.S.R., thus

Barry, Harold Berman, Frances Foster-Simons, George Ginsburgs, John
Hazard, Kathryn Hendley, Eugene Huskey, Dietrich Loeber, Peter
Maggs, Hiroshi Oda, Nicolai Petro, Robert Sharlet, Louise Shelley,
Will Simons and Peter Solomon, with commentary by Soviet scholars,
discuss conceptual, historical, social, cultural, and institutional
aspects of Soviet legal development, and supply detailed analysis
of recent developments in the areas of civil, criminal, and labour
law and the rights of individuals, economic organizations, and
political and social groups.
