More about the book

Over the past two decades, specialized constitutional courts have become prominent globally, particularly outside the Anglo-Saxon world, increasingly addressing politically significant issues. This trend reflects a broader judicialization of politics, especially evident in constitutional courts, which are now facing scrutiny regarding their roles and effectiveness. This volume explores the diverse functions and performances of these courts, which, despite sharing common origins, differ significantly across various constitutional systems. The contributions delve into the constitutionalization of legal frameworks and the growing political influence on these courts, examining systems in countries such as Cambodia, Croatia, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Poland, Spain, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. The perspectives include insights from current and former justices of constitutional courts, enriching the discourse with practical experiences. Notable contributors include justices and academics specializing in public law from various universities, providing a comprehensive analysis of the evolving landscape of constitutional law and the implications of political dynamics on judicial institutions.
