Democratization and the Judiciary: The Accountability Function of Courts in New Democracies (Democratization Studies) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This title examines the political role of courts in new democracies in Latin America and Africa, focusing on their ability to hold political power-holders accountable when they act outside their constitutionally defined powers. The book also issues a warning: there are problems inherent in the current global move towards strong constitutional government, where increasingly strong powers are placed in the hands of judges who themselves are not made accountable.
