The Politics of Juridification

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of politics and judicial influence, this book challenges the common view that the rise of judicial bodies undermines democracy. Instead, it explores the complex and ambivalent nature of juridification, suggesting that the transfer of political authority to the courts can have both positive and negative implications for democratic governance in Western political communities. Through this lens, it engages with contemporary debates about the role of law in shaping political authority and public policy.
