The side-by-side comparison between the U.S. Supreme Court and the German Federal Constitutional Court provides a novel socio-legal approach in studying constitutional litigation, focusing on conditions of mobilisation, decision-making and implementation. This updated and revised second edition includes a number of new contributions on the political status of the courts in their democratic political cultures.Constitutional courtsConstitutional courts.347.7326Rogowski Ralf124576Gawron Thomas1610509MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809292103321Constitutional Courts in Comparison3938288UNINA
