What is the relationship between the strength of a country's
democracy and the ability of its courts to address deficiencies in
the electoral process? Drawing a distinction between democracies
that can be characterised as 'dominant-party' (for example
Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong), 'dynamic' (for example India,
South Korea, and Taiwan), and 'fragile' (for example Thailand,
Pakistan ,and Bangladesh), this book explores how democracy
sustains and is sustained by the exercise of judicial power. In
dominant-party systems, courts can only pursue 'dialogic' pathways
to constrain the government's authoritarian tendencies. On the
other hand, in dynamic democracies, courts can more successfully
innovate and make systemic changes to the electoral system.
Finally, in fragile democracies, where a country regularly
oscillates between martial law and civilian rule, their courts tend
to consistently overreach, and this often facilitates or
precipitates a hostile take-over by the armed forces, and lead to
the demise of the rule of law.
