Root and Karen May -- Courts in authoritarian regimes / Martin Shapiro.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.CourtsPolitical aspectsJustice, Administration ofPolitical aspectsPolitical questions and judicial powerJudicial processAuthoritarianismCourtsPolitical aspects.Justice, Administration ofPolitical aspects.Political questions and judicial power.Judicial process.Authoritarianism.347/.01Ginsburg TomMoustafa TamirUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910451039903321Rule by law1011909UNINA
