The book thereby contributes to filling in this gap for the European continent. Taking an interdisciplinary politics and law perspective, and combining empirical and theoretical considerations, the book addresses the important link between democracy and judicial governance. In particular, it provides for three interconnected contributions. First, the book provides for a comprehensive classification of European countries into different models of judicial governance. Second, the book analyses empirically the relationship between the design of judicial governance and the quality of democracy. Third, building on those findings, the book presents policy reflections for the reform and improvement of mechanisms for judicial governance in European countries. The book seeks to refine our knowledge about the relationship between judicial governance and democracy, making an important academic and social contribution. In an era in which many democracies backslide and deconsolidate, it assesses to what extent existing mechanisms for judicial governance have contributed to the stability and quality of democratic systems in which they are implemented. Furthermore, the book puts forward reflections to improve the role of organs for judicial governance in fostering the quality of democracy. Since the book introduces in an accessible form key concepts of Judicial Governance, it will be of interest for the general public as well as academics and students in the fields of Law and Political Science. The book also addresses policy makers, as based on our empirical knowledge about the interaction judicial governance and democracy it puts forward ideas for a design of judicial governance that is more capable of protecting democratic systems of government. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Law,$x2192-8568 606 $aLaw$xEurope 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational law 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEuropean Law 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aSources and Subjects of International Law, International Organizations 606 $aMethodology of Political Science 615 0$aLaw$xEurope. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aSources and Subjects of International Law, International Organizations. 615 24$aMethodology of Political Science. 676 $a341.2422 700 $aCastillo-Ortiz$b Pablo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01354165 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682536803321 996 $aJudicial Governance and Democracy in Europe$93306860 997 $aUNINA
