The French Constitutional Council, a quasi-judicial body created at
the dawn of the Fifth Republic, functioned in relative obscurity
for almost two decades until its emergence in the 1980s as a
pivotal actor in the French policymaking process. Alec Stone
focuses on how this once docile institution, through its practice
of constitutional review, has become a meaningfully autonomous
actor in the French political system. After examining the formal
prohibition against judicial review in France, Stone illustrates
how politicians and the Council have collaborated over the course
of the last decade, often unintentionally and in the service of
contradictory agendas, to significantly enhance Council's power.
While the Council came to function as a third house of Parliament,
the legislative work of the government and Parliament was
meaningfully "juridicized." Through a discussion of broad
theoretical issues, Stone then expands the scope of his analysis to
the politics of constitutional review in Germany, Spain, and
Austria.
