Ranging across law, politics, and history he argues that far from... In the increasingly questioning world of the 1990s, the role of the monarchy in a democracy is again coming under scrutiny.

One explanation for this somewhat unexpected success is the varied strategies of center-periphery relations adopted by the post-Soviet states, tailored to meet the unique of circumstances faced by each...
