The delivery of justice is a core function of the modern state. The
recent introduction of jury/lay judge systems for criminal trials
in Japan, South Korea, Spain, and perhaps soon Taiwan represents a
potentially major reform of this core function, shifting decision
making authority from professional judges to ordinary citizens. But
the four countries chose to empower their citizens to markedly
different degrees. Why? Who Judges? is the first book to offer a
systematic account for why different countries design their new
jury/lay judge systems in very different ways. Drawing on detailed
theoretical analysis, original case studies, and content analysis
of fifty years of Japanese parliamentary debates, the book reveals
that the relative power of 'new left'-oriented political parties
explains the different magnitudes of reform in the four countries.
Rieko Kage's vital new study opens up an exciting new area of
research for comparative politics and socio-legal studies.
