The Global Expansion of Judicial Power, so ably and perceptively
compiled and edited, is a welcome addition indeed. It assesses and
analyses trenchantly and sophisticatedly a cascading development
that is as significant and fascinating as it is controversial and
durational. A major contribution.

In Russia, as the confrontation over the constitutional
distribution of authority raged, Boris Yeltsin's economic program
regularly wended its way in and out of the Constitutional Court
until Yeltsin finally suspended that court in the aftermath of his
clash with the hard-line parliament. In Europe, French and German
legislators and executives now routinely alter desired policies in
response to or in anticipation of the pronouncements of
constitutional courts. In Latin America and Africa, courts are--or
will be-- important participantsin ongoing efforts to establish
constitutional rules and policies protect new or fragile
democracies from the threats of military intervention, ethnic
conflict, and revolution.
This global expansion of judicial power, or judicialization of
politics is accompanied by an increasing domination of negotiating
or decision making arenas by quasi- judicial procedures. For better
or for worse, the judicialization of politics has become one of the
most significant trends of the end of the millenium.
In this book, political scientists, legal scholars, and judges
around the world trace the intellectual origins of this trend,
describe its occurence--or lack of occurence--in specific nations,
analyze the circumstances and conditions that promote or retard
judicialization, and evaluate the phenomenon from a variety of
intellectual and ideological perspectives.
