From Old Times to New Europe considers the post-totalitarian legal framework in today's Europe, arguing that the study of totalitarianism, and post-totalitarianism continues to be significant as ever. With the benefit of access to archival sources in Poland and Russia, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of European law, law and society and international criminal justice.
