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. 606 $aCourts$xPolitical aspects 606 $aJustice, Administration of$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power 606 $aJudicial process 606 $aAuthoritarianism 615 0$aCourts$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aJustice, Administration of$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power. 615 0$aJudicial process. 615 0$aAuthoritarianism. 676 $a347/.01 702 $aGinsburg$b Tom 702 $aMoustafa$b Tamir 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785091903321 996 $aRule by law$91011909 997 $aUNINA
