Asser Press, $c [2021] 300 $a xxii, 208 pages ; $c 25 cm 520 $a The book addresses authoritarian legacies of politically motivated justice and its unwritten practices that have re-emerged in the recent trials related to both political and ordinary criminal charges against prominent opposition leaders in many former Soviet republics. Taking into account that in any country all trials are more or less related to politics, the author differentiates between trials on political issues (political trials that are not necessarily arbitrary) and politicized partisan trials (arbitrary trials against political opponents). The monograph, thus, adopts a broad definition of a political trial, which includes all trials that are related to politicians and political matters such as elections, regime change, activities of parties and other political organizations. The focus lies on a separate group of partisan trials that are politicized (i.e. politically motivated) and which are used by governments to restrain political opposition and dissent.00Primarily aimed at legal practitioners such as human rights lawyers, prosecutors, and judges, as well as postgraduates, researchers, teaching assistants and university law professors, readers can gain from the book information that is useful in assessing the interdisciplinary phenomenon of politically motivated criminal justice in transitional and authoritarian post-Soviet republics. Additionally, the volume is indispensable to readers that are interested in Eastern European Studies, Transitional Justice, Law and Society, Slavic Studies, and Theory and History of State and Law. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Former Soviet republics. 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 651 7 $a Soviet Union $z Former Soviet republics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262458 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A39EC7ECFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
