The countries of the South Caucasus - Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan - have been plagued by the failings of the rule of law. While the quality of written laws has improved since independence, legal institutions - and perhaps legal culture - continue to be weak. The failings of law have in turn had a corrosive effect on state-building and democratization. This book examines the rule of law in the region from a variety of themes and perspectives, such as corruption, elections, relations with Europe, legal professions, regulation of business, environment protection and human rights.
