Sommario/riassunto

"This study reports on the strength of the rule of law in five Central European candidate countries. The author evaluates their legal cultures and legal capacities by examining a range of indicators: legal education, the legal profession, civil and criminal justice, and the institutions of administrative and constitutional review. His conclusion is that, given their level of development, these countries have achieved an impressive record of institution building." -- Preface.
