Scholars have generally assumed that courts in authoritarian states
are pawns of their regimes, upholding the interests of governing
elites and frustrating the efforts of their opponents. As a result,
nearly all studies in comparative judicial politics have focused on
democratic and democratizing countries. This volume brings together
leading scholars in comparative judicial politics to consider the
causes and consequences of judicial empowerment in authoritarian
states. It demonstrates the wide range of governance tasks that
courts perform, as well as the way in which courts can serve as
critical sites of contention both among the ruling elite and
between regimes and their citizens. Drawing on empirical and
theoretical insights from every major region of the world, this
volume advances our understanding of judicial politics in
authoritarian regimes.
