This second edition delves into the intricate relationship between judicial independence and democratization, recognizing that the consolidation of democracy cannot be achieved without the rule of law, which is intrinsically linked to judicial independence. It provides a comprehensive examination of the various constraints imposed on judicial independence and explores the ongoing reforms aimed at safeguarding against interference that may hinder the impartiality of judicial decisions.
The book specifically focuses on the growing authoritarianism observed in emerging democracies across Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. It analyzes the paradoxical emergence of judicial activism in these contexts, stemming from the independence granted to the judiciary and the rights bestowed upon citizens by post-authoritarian constitutions.
The book raises important questions about how judicial accountability can coexist with the preservation of judicial independence, particularly when the concept of an accountable, independent judiciary appears to be at odds. It offers insightful perspectives and empirical evidence to shed light on these complex issues, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students engaged in judicial studies, democratization and autocratization studies, constitutionalism, global governance, and comparative government/politics, human rights, and comparative public law.
