Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Oct 16, 2014 - Law - 230 pages
Russian Constitutional Law is one of the first publications to offer profound analyses of the main institutions of the Constitutional Law of the Russian Federation in English. The authors, representing the Constitutional Law Chair of the Moscow State Institute for International Relations (MGIMO-University), cover the most important and basic categories of Constitutional Law in Russia: namely, the Constitution; the Status of the Individual; Federalism; the Electoral System; Federal Bodies (the President, the Federal Assembly—the Parliament of the Russian Federation—and the Government); the Court System; and Local Self-Government.

This book will be useful not only for students and government officials, but also for those who practice law, foreign officials and the general reader interested in the system of power in Russia, human rights and constitutions.
