| Summary |
"This book examines constitutionalism in Russia from Tsarist times to the present. It traces the different attitudes to constitutionalism in political thought, and in practice, at different periods, showing how the balance between authoritarianism and liberalism has shifted. In addition, it discusses the importance of constitutional developments for societies in transition, and concludes that post-communist constitutional development in Russia is still far from complete."--BOOK JACKET |
