Troubled Nexuses Between International And Domestic Law In The Post-Soviet Space

This article serves as an introduction to the Symposium “Troubled Nexuses Between International and Domestic Law in the Post-Soviet Space”. The Symposium seeks to explore a complex interplay between international and domestic law in post-Soviet countries both before and after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 with a focus on Ukraine and Central Asia. The introduction conceptualizes the term “troubled nexus” and presents an overview of relevant country-specific discourses, policies and practices of international law. This shall offer a reader a sound theoretical and contextual basis to proceed with reading individual contributions in the Symposium.
