Opis

Judiciary institutions in Central and Eastern Europe have become patterned on a template that maximises judicial empowerment to the detriment of national parliaments. Transnational Networks and Elite Self-Empowerment explores this new social class of elite legal professionals who make public policy in place of formal democratic institutions.
