The article presents the author’s analysis of constitutional texts, regulations and analytical materials of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States in order to consolidate in them the consolidated powers of the chambers of parliaments associated with the implementation of food security. Analysis of legal acts of the studied group of states showed that the sphere of food security (as part of the agrarian and food sphere/function) is one of the eventual spheres of interaction between the chambers of parliament. In the course of the study, two approaches of states to the formalization of provisions related to food security in constitutional texts were identified. The first approach is to consolidate norms that indirectly affect the field of food security (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia); the second - in the absence of such provisions (Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). It has been established that the interaction of the chambers of parliaments in the field of food security is implemented through the adoption of laws, as well as through various parliamentary events (parliamentary hearings, round tables, seminars, meetings, etc.). It is concluded that the available options for interaction between the chambers of parliaments of states in the field of food security reflect their independent approaches, which are developed on the basis of legal doctrine and practice.

Throughout the period of the existence of the Commonwealth of Independent States, mechanisms were formed to determine the topical direc- tions of joint lawmaking, to jointly develop and implement legal norms, to work on the approximation of national legislations, etc. Already at an early stage of the functioning of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the cooperation of national prosecutor’s offices acquired special significance, as evidenced by the establishment of the Coordination Council of Prosecutor- Generals of Commonwealth Member States in 1995. The present article studies the basic aspects of the interaction between prosecutor’s offices in the Commonwealth of Independent States in the protection of the human and civil rights and free- doms. The article also looks at the dynamics of offending in Commonwealth countries and analyses the factors influencing it; it gives examples of reforms to criminal law and criminal procedure in some Commonwealth countries aimed at making the justice system more effective and protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. The author pays particular attention to the work of the Russian prosecution services, stressing that the experience of lawmaking and the law enforcement practices of the Russian Federation may be of use in the practical work of the general prosecutor’s offices of the post-Soviet countries that are members of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The chapter then discusses The Commonwealth of Independent States, the alliance that included most of the 15 former Soviet republics that became independent countries.

The Relationship

This chapter investigates the relationship between financial literacy, financial sector development, and Ponzi schemes in the commonwealth of independent states (CIS) countries. It begins with an overview of the early cases of Ponzi schemes in the CIS countries by examining circumstances which formed fertile ground for the schemes to develop during initial years of independence. The study then scrutinised the situation in the member states during the later years which revealed no improvements. A closer examination of the problem discovered that the main triggers are low level of financial literacy and scarce investment alternatives. The chapter suggests that unless the level of financial literacy is raised and the financial sector is developed, Ponzi schemes will continue to thrive in the region. It concludes by providing some policy recommendations to enhance financial literacy and financial sector development, as well as necessary steps to improve financial regulations.

Elite Recruitment

AbstractThis paper deals with the process of elite recruitment in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The analysis of CIS countries' experiences allows a correlation to be drawn between the model of elite organization and the political and economic policies they pursue. As a rule, based on the mold of traditionalist (patron-client) relations, elites act as the agents of de-modernization and re-traditionalization. Organized on the principles of rational bureaucracy, elites are able to ensure modernization. Looking at the evolution of the CIS countries from this angle, the author investigates three groups of states. Two of these represent an almost 'ideal type' or 'clean' example of implementing the reference model. Byelorussia, at one end of the spectrum, is an example of a bureaucratically run state. On the other side of this spectrum are the countries of post-Soviet Central Asia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, which embody the model of the clannish elite. The third group of countries are those states maintaining an in-between position within the proposed line of analysis, or those post-Soviet polities marked by a complicated plexus and sometimes also by an acute struggle between different models (Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, and Moldova).
