520			_a"This book tells the forgotten story of the 'dark arts' of constitutional law by explaining how Russian President Vladimir Putin used particular rules in the 1993 Russian Constitution to build and safeguard his personal power. These dark arts remind us that constitutions are not just democratic documents; they also can be used by politicians seeking to undermine their opposition and dominate politics. With democracy under pressure from authoritarianism around the world, this book demonstrates how and where to find the 'devil' in the details of constitutional law"-- _cProvided by publisher.
