Staton.To what extent do courts in Latin America protect individual rights and limit governments? This volume answers these fundamental questions by bringing together today's leading scholars of judicial politics. Drawing on examples from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica and Bolivia, the authors demonstrate that there is widespread variation in the performance of Latin America's constitutional courts. In accounting for this variation, the contributors push forward ongoing debates about what motivates judges; whether institutions, partisan politics and public support shape inter-branch relations; and the importance of judicial attitudes and legal culture. The authors deploy a range of methods, including qualitative case studies, paired country comparisons, statistical analysis and game theory.Constitutional courtsLatin AmericaCourts of last resortLatin AmericaJudicial processLatin AmericaCivil rightsLatin AmericaConstitutional courtsCourts of last resortJudicial processCivil rights347.8/035Helmke Gretchen1967-Ríos Figueroa JulioUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910459727003321Courts in Latin America1139389UNINA01169nam 2200349 a 450 991069063320332120090713111507.0(CKB)5470000002339983(OCoLC)424502461(EXLCZ)99547000000233998320090713d2007 ua 0engurbn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierInternational copyright relations of the United States[electronic resource] /United States Copyright OfficeRev.: 7/2009.Washington, DC (101 Independence Ave., SE, Washington 20559-6000) :Library of Congress, Copyright Office,[2007]12 pages digital, PDF fileCircular ;38ATitle from title screen (viewed on July 8, 2009).CopyrightUnited StatesCopyright, InternationalCopyrightCopyright, International.GPOGPOBOOK9910690633203321International copyright relations of the United States3128733UNINA
