This book shows that constitutional courts exercise direct and
indirect power on political branches through decision-making. The
first face of judicial power is characterized by courts directing
political actors to implement judicial decisions in specific ways.
The second face leads political actors to anticipate judicial
review and draft policies accordingly. The judicial-political
interaction originating from both faces is herein formally modeled.
A cross-European comparison of pre-conditions of judicial power
shows that the German Federal Constitutional Court is a well-suited
representative case for a quantitative assessment of judicial
power. Multinomial logistic regressions show that the court uses
directives when evasion of decisions is costly while accounting for
the government's ability to implement decisions. Causal analyses of
the second face of judicial power show that bills exposed to legal
signals are drafted accounting for the court. These findings
re-shape our understanding of judicialization and shed light on a
silent form of judicialization.
