This volume includes chapters from an exciting group of scholars at
the cutting edge of their fields to present a multi-disciplinary
look at how international law shapes behavior. Contributors present
overviews of the progress established fields have made in analyzing
questions of interest, as well as speculations on the questions or
insights that emerging methods might raise. In some chapters, there
is a focus on how a particular method might raise or help answer
questions, while others focus on a particular international law
topic by drawing from a variety of fields through a multi-method
approach to highlight how these fields may come together in a
single project. Still others use behavioral insights as a form of
critique to highlight the blind spots and related mistakes in more
traditional analyses of the law. Throughout this volume, authors
present creative, insightful, challenges to traditional
international law scholarship.
In Towering Judges: A Comparative Study of Constitutional Judges,
Rehan Abeyratne and Iddo Porat lead an exploration of a new topic
in comparative constitutional law: towering judges. The volume
examines the work of nineteen judges from fourteen jurisdictions,
each of whom stood out individually among their fellow judges and
had a unique impact on the trajectory of constitutional law. The
chapters ask: what makes a towering judge; what are the background
conditions that foster or deter the rise of towering judges; are
towering judges, on balance, positive or detrimental for
constitutional systems; how do towering judges differ from one
jurisdiction to another; how do political and historical
developments relate to this phenomenon; and how does all of this
fit within global constitutionalism? The answers to these questions
offer important insight into how these judges were able to shine to
an uncommon degree in a profession where individualism is not
always looked on favourably.
