Biographical note
Edited by Erin F. Delaney, Leverhulme Professor of Comparative Constitutional Law and Director, Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism, University College London, UK and Rosalind Dixon, Professor of Law, UNSW Sydney, Australia<i>'A more comprehensive or state-of-the-art advanced introduction to comparative judicial review is impossible to imagine. With authoritative but concise contributions from the leading comparative constitutionalists and political scientists in the field, this extraordinarily valuable volume takes an interdisciplinary, global, and transnational approach in addressing the key questions surrounding constitutional courts, and explores them with an unusual sensitivity to social and political context. A uniquely useful one-stop shop for students and scholars alike.'</i><br /> --Stephen Gardbaum, University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law, US<p><i>'Our understanding of the institutions of constitutional/judicial review has deepened dramatically over the past generation. This collection of essays by some of the world's most sophisticated analysts of constitutional review provides an overview of what we know. It pushes the research agenda forward by using interesting and provocative theoretical perspectives - from law, political science, and normative political theory - on constitutional review to offer thoughtful new claims. Simultaneously a handbook and a valuable collection of new insights, </i>Comparative Judicial Review<i> deserves a place on the bookshelf of every serious scholar in the field.'</i><br /> --Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School, US</p>
This book serves as a single point of entry for legal scholars and practitioners interested in understanding the field of comparative judicial review in its broader political and social context. This book's comparative and interdisciplinary accounts of a phenomenon of worldwide significance and its advanced introduction to the origins, functions, and contours of judicial review make it both accessible and indispensable.
Comparative Judicial Review should be considered essential reading for every graduate student, early career scholar, and constitutional law professor seeking to become more comparative in their approach.
