Age of Delirium
The first state in history to be based explicitly on atheism, the Soviet Union endowed itself with the attributes of God. In this book, David Satter shows through individual stories what it meant to construct an entire state on the basis of a false idea, how people were forced to act out this fictitious reality, and the tragic human cost of the Soviet attempt to remake reality by force. “I had almost given up hope that any American could depict the true face of Russia and Soviet rule. In David Satter’s Age of Delirium, the world has received a chronicle of the calvary of the Russian people under communism that will last for generations.†?—Vladimir Voinovich, author of The Life and Ex...
The Struggle for Constitutional Justice in Post-Communist Europe
In the former Eastern Bloc countries, one of the most difficult and important aspects of the transition to democracy has been the establishment of constitutional justice and the rule of law. Herman Schwartz's wide-ranging book, backed with rich historical detail and a massive array of research, is the first to chronicle and analyze the rise and troubles of constitutional courts in this changing region. "Those who are interested in understanding the behavior of constitutional courts in transitional regimes cannot afford to ignore this important book. . . . [It] is fecund with hypotheses of interest to political scientists, and we are indebted to Professor Schwartz for his comprehensive analysis."—James L. Gibson, Law and Politics Book Review
Honest to God, Honest to Man
Modern "prophets" and even scientists believe that devastating earthquakes and tsunamis that have killed many people on Haiti, in Chili and in Japan lately were the heralds of more scaled natural cataclysms that, according to Mayan calendar, may destroy the life on Earth in December 2012. Many people try to find salvation in religion However, sensational discoveries made by the author, reveal the fact that trying to hide the truth about Jesus, Church founders made so many theological mistakes that made salvation impossible. Honest to God, Honest to Man is the author's desperate attempt to tell the truth about why did it happen, and why religious teachings became the source of religious intolerance and terrorism.
The Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Law
Comparative law is a common subject-matter of research and teaching in many universities around the world, and the twenty-first century has aptly been termed 'the era of comparative law'. This Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Law presents a truly global perspective of comparative law today. The contributors are drawn from all parts of the world to provide different perspectives on how we understand the 'law' and how it operates in practice. In substance, the Handbook contains 36 chapters covering a broad range of topics, divided under the following headings: 'Methods of Comparative Law' (Part I), 'Legal Families and Geographical Comparisons' (Part II), 'Central Themes in Comparative Law' (Part III); and 'Comparative Law beyond the State' (Part IV).
A Normal Totalitarian Society
This study analyzes the ordinary functioning of the Soviet system from Stalin's death through the Soviet collapse and Russia's first post-Soviet decade. Without overlooking the USSR's repressive character, the author treats it as a "normal" system that employed socialist and nationalist ideologies.

Drug Legalization in Federalist Constitutional Democracies
This book uses the Canadian cannabis legalization experiment, analyzed in the historical context of wider drug criminalization in Canada and placed in an international perspective, to examine important lessons about the differential implementation of federal law in jurisdictions within federalist constitutional democracies. Utilizing a socio-legal, interdisciplinary methodology, the work provides a comprehensive history of Canada’s federal drug policy and engages in a critical appraisal of its provincial implementation. It also presents a significant international and comparative component, bringing in analyses of the status of drug legalization in other federalist constitutional democraci...
Derecho y la cultura jurídica en la sociedad soviética
El Derecho es un fenómeno peculiar de la vida social, nacido en medio de las relaciones de clases. ¿Cuáles son, pues, sus particularidades? Mencionaremos tres de ellas, que justamente condicionan su papel de factor estabilizador. La primera importante peculiaridad del Derecho es su carácter normativo. A primera vista, eso no tiene nada de particular. Pues, la norma es la norma, o sea, una regla obligatoria para todos. Pero si lo consideramos con más detenimiento, podemos reconocer que esta es una cosa muy importante e, incluso, una gran creación para la vida de la sociedad. La segunda importante particularidad del Derecho consiste en su rigurosa precisión, en su clara exposición en e...
