Law and the Making of the Soviet World

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the pivotal role of law, this book examines how it shaped the Soviet Union's economic, political, and social institutions. Scott Newton contends that the Soviet system was fundamentally a construct of law, presenting it as a typical example of law's application in 20th-century industrial societies. The analysis offers valuable insights into the relationship between modern law and the Soviet experience, highlighting the broader implications of this historical case for contemporary legal frameworks.
