The Two Faces of Judicial Power
This book shows that constitutional courts exercise direct and indirect power on political branches through decision-making. The first face of judicial power is characterized by courts directing political actors to implement judicial decisions in specific ways. The second face leads political actors to anticipate judicial review and draft policies accordingly. The judicial–political interaction originating from both faces is herein formally modeled. A cross-European comparison of pre-conditions of judicial power shows that the German Federal Constitutional Court is a well-suited representative case for a quantitative assessment of judicial power. Multinomial logistic regressions show that the court uses directives when evasion of decisions is costly while accounting for the government’s ability to implement decisions. Causal analyses of the second face of judicial power show that bills exposed to legal signals are drafted accounting for the court. These findings re-shape our understanding of judicialization and shed light on a silent form of judicialization.

The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics.

The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
The Political System of Germany
The textbook introduces the self-understanding, institutional structure and practice of the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. The work provides a problem-oriented overview of the basic constitutional and foreign policy decisions that have constituted German democracy; the political field of forces formed by interest groups, citizens' initiatives, parties and mass media; the political institutions at the federal, state and local levels; the social reach and administrative enforcement of political decisions; the political culture including the structure of the political ruling class. The new edition also addresses, among other things, the consequences of the Corona crisis for the political system, the changing party system and the crisis of the EU after the 2021 federal election.
How Judges Judge
A judge’s role is to make decisions. This book is about how judges undertake this task. It is about forces on the judicial role and their consequences, about empirical research from a variety of academic disciplines that observes and verifies how factors can affect how judges judge. On the one hand, judges decide by interpreting and applying the law, but much more affects judicial decision-making: psychological effects, group dynamics, numerical reasoning, biases, court processes, influences from political and other institutions, and technological advancement. All can have a bearing on judicial outcomes. In How Judges Judge: Empirical Insights into Judicial Decision-Making, Brian M. Barry ...
The Strategic Analysis of Judicial Behavior
The past decade has witnessed a worldwide explosion of work aimed at illuminating judicial-behavior: the choices judges make and the consequences of their choices. We focus on strategic accounts of judicial-behavior. As in other approaches to judging, preferences and institutions play a central role but strategic accounts are unique in one important respect: They draw attention to the interdependent - i.e., the strategic - nature of judicial decisions. On strategic accounts, judges do not make decisions in a vacuum, but rather attend to the preferences and likely actions of other actors, including their colleagues, superiors, politicians, and the public. We survey the major methodological approaches for conducting strategic analysis and consider how scholars have used them to provide insight into the effect of internal and external actors on the judges' choices. As far as these studies have traveled in illuminating judicial-behavior, many opportunities for forward movement remain. We flag four in the conclusion.
Der Menschenwürdegehalt der Grundrechte
Die verfassungsgebende Gewalt wollte aus der Menschenwurde konkrete rechtliche Folgerungen ziehen und einen Menschenwurdegehalt aller Grundrechte der Verfassungsanderung entziehen (Art. 1 Abs. 1 i.V. mit Art. 79 Abs. 3 GG). Die Menschenwurde als Verfassungsbegriff ernst zu nehmen heisst deshalb, ihren Sinn gleichsam induktiv, von den nachfolgenden Grundrechten her, zu erschliessen. Die Verfassung knupft damit an die Ideen von 1776 und 1789 an und erneuert das unerfullte Versprechen der Freiheit und Gleichheit aller Menschen in ihren unverausserlichen Rechten. Das Werk wird durch zwei Untersuchungen erganzt, die unter den Titeln "Abwagungsfeste Rechte - Von Alexys Prinzipien zum Modell der Grundsatznormen" und "Todesstrafenverbot und Folterverbot - Grundrechtliche Menschenwurdegehalte unter dem Grundgesetz" veroffentlicht werden. Die drei Bande (JusPubl 276, 277, 278) sind sowohl einzeln als auch zum Setpreis erhaltlich.
Kritische Theorien der Internationalen Beziehungen
Folgenreiche politische Entscheidungen werden in der Medienöffentlichkeit allzu oft isoliert betrachtet und mithin auch extrem klischeehaft repräsentiert. Die Politikwissenschaft bzw. die Wissenschaft der Internationalen Beziehungen wäre in diesem Zusammenhang aufgerufen, sachliche und grundlagentheoretisch aufbereitete Analysen der (internationalen) Politik in den öffentlichen Diskurs einzuspeisen. Stattdessen verlegt sich der amerikanisierte Mainstream auf die Legitimierung der politischen Praxis, die Konstruktion weltanschaulich verkürzter Narrative und/oder scholastische Diskussionen über randständige Details. Das vorliegende Buch unternimmt den Versuch, das Profil einer unabhängigen wissenschaftlichen Perspektive gegenüber der (internationalen) Politik zu schärfen, aus der es interessierten Beobachter/innen möglich wird, angemessene Vorstellungen von den aktuellen realweltlichen Geschehnissen zu entwickeln. Zu diesem Zweck werden im ersten Teil des Buches Grundprinzipien kritischen Denkens rekonstruiert, die im zweiten Teil des Buches mit Blick auf genuin kritische Deutungsmöglichkeiten realpolitischer Geschehnisse veranschaulicht werden.
Young People's Political Participation in Western Europe
