During the last two decades the judiciary has come to play an
increasingly important political role in Latin America.
Constitutional courts and supreme courts are more active in
counterbalancing executive and legislative power than ever before.
At the same time, the lack of effective citizenship rights has
prompted ordinary people to press their claims and secure their
rights through the courts. This collection of essays analyzes the
diverse manifestations of the judicialization of politics in
contemporary Latin America, assessing their positive and negative
consequences for state-society relations, the rule of law, and
democratic governance in the region. With individual chapters
exploring Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico,
Peru and Venezuela, it advances a comparative framework for
thinking about the nature of the judicialization of politics within
contemporary Latin American democracies.
