Judicial Vetoes
How does the selection of judges influence the work they do in important constitutional courts? Does mixed judicial selection, which allows more players to choose judges, result in a court that is more independent and one that can check powerful executives and legislators? Existing literature on constitutional courts tends to focus on how judicial behaviour is motivated by judges' political preferences. Lydia Brashear Tiede argues for a new approach, showing that, under mixed selection, institutions choose different types of judges who represent different approaches to constitutional adjudication and thus have different propensities for striking down laws. Using empirical evidence from the constitutional courts of Chile and Colombia, this book develops a framework for understanding the factors, external and internal to courts, which lead individual judges, as well as the courts in which they work, to veto a law.
Handbook on the Rule of Law
The discussion of the norm of the rule of law has broken out of the confines of jurisprudence and is of growing interest to many non-legal researchers. A range of issues are explored in this volume that will help non-specialists with an interest in the rule of law develop a nuanced understanding of its character and political implications. It is explicitly aimed at those who know the rule of law is important and while having little legal background, would like to know more about the norm.
Judicial Vetoes
"Constitutional courts in many countries seek to constrain elected actors often by striking down or vetoing their laws. A large proportion of these courts select their judges through a mixed selection method which allows different institutions, often branches of government, to each select a specific number of judges to the court. This book investigates how the mixed selection method operates in practice on the Chilean Constitutional Tribunal, and the Colombian Constitutional Court. Separate institutions choose different types of constitutional adjudicators to these two courts who in turn have different propensities for vetoing or striking down laws. The presence of different types of judges ...

The Wealth of a Nation
How the development of legal and financial institutions transformed Britain into the world’s first capitalist country Modern capitalism emerged in England in the eighteenth century and ushered in the Industrial Revolution, though scholars have long debated why. Some attribute the causes to technological change while others point to the Protestant ethic, liberal ideas, and cultural change. The Wealth of a Nation reveals the crucial developments in legal and financial institutions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that help to explain this dramatic transformation. Offering new perspectives on the early history of capitalism, Geoffrey Hodgson describes how, for the emerging British ...
