The power of national and transnational constitutional courts to
issue binding rulings in interpreting the constitution or an
international treaty has been endlessly discussed. What does it
mean for democratic governance that non-elected judges influence
politics and policies? The authors of Judicial Power - legal
scholars, political scientists, and judges - take a fresh look at
this problem. To date, research has concentrated on the legitimacy,
or the effectiveness, or specific decision-making methods of
constitutional courts. By contrast, the authors here explore the
relationship among these three factors. This book presents the
hypothesis that judicial review allows for a method of reflecting
on social integration that differs from political methods, and,
precisely because of the difference between judicial and political
decision-making, strengthens democratic governance. This hypothesis
is tested in case studies on the role of constitutional courts in
political transformations, on the methods of these courts, and on
transnational judicial interactions.
Im Mai 2019 wird das Grundgesetz 70 Jahre alt. Es galt gut 40 Jahre
in der Bonner und 30 Jahre in der Berliner Republik. Das "Jubilaum"
fallt zusammen mit 100 Jahren Weimarer Reichsverfassung, eine
Verfassung, die stermische Zeiten kannte - und sie nicht eberlebte.
Das Doppeljubilaum ist Anlass, sich eber das Grundgesetz, den von
ihm verfassten Staat, eber unsere Gesellschaft und politische
Herrschaft zu vergewissern. Was hat sich bewahrt? Wie wurde die
verfassungspolitische Ordnung zu der, die wir kennen? Wie gut sind
wir fer aktuelle und zukenftige Herausforderungen gerestet? Welche
Rolle spielt das Verfassungsrecht, wenn es etwa um Identitat,
Populismus, Migrationsfragen, Digitalisierung oder die
demographischen Herausforderungen geht? Diesen Fragen geht der
vorliegende Band mit Beitragen prominenter Autoren nach. Das Werk
versammelt profilierte Denkerinnen und Denker aus der Rechts-,
Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaft sowie Funk- und
Printjournalismus. Sie suchen pointiert und adressiert an ein
breites Publikum Antworten auf die Frage, ob unser Land in guter
Verfassung war, ist, sein wird.
