ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book reveals that the process of transitional constitutionalism in the post-Soviet space, which is to a large extent determined by the processes of European and Eurasian regional integration. Constitutional Courts play a crucial role, either as guardians of the constitution or as obedient tools of the ruling political elite. The constitutional orders of the post-Soviet countries have to adapt to the volatile political and security challenges within the post-Soviet area and beyond in order to preserve their newly acquired sovereignty. The Russian Constitution was adopted in 1993 as the most international law-friendly constitution within the post-Soviet area. Despite constitutional provisions on respect for the supremacy of principles of international law in the Belarusian Constitution, the Belarusian Constitutional Court confirmed its right to check the compatibility of decisions of the Eurasian Economic Union Commission with national laws and decrees.
