Why do courts hold political power-holders accountable in some
democratic and democratizing countries, but not in others? And, why
do some courts remain very timid while others--under seemingly
similar circumstances--become "hyper-active"? These are questions
of central theoretical and practical importance in a context of
increasing juridification of politics in many parts of the world,
combined with persisting problems of holding elected leaders to
account. This book contributes to the ongoing debate over the
institutionalization of democratic accountability and examines the
"accountability function" exercised by higher courts in Latin
America and Africa.
