On Law, Politics, and Judicialization Summary

On Law, Politics, and Judicialization by Martin Shapiro (Professor of Law, Boalt Law School, University of California, Berkeley)

Across the globe, the domain of the litigator and the judge has radically expanded, making it increasingly difficult for those who study comparative and international politics, public policy and regulation, or the evolution of modes of governance to avoid encountering a great deal of law and courts. In this text two leading political scientists present the best of their research, focusing on how to build and test a social science of law and courts. The opening chapter features Shapiro's "Political Jurisprudence", and Stone Sweet's "Judicialization and the Construction of Governance".

On Law, Politics, and Judicialization Reviews

This volume is unique. It brings together previously published works by two important scholars.. articulates..and..instructs us about where the field of comparative legal studies has been and, possibly, where it is heading. The reader is asked to rethink common scholarly assumptions and approaches with regard to the role of law and politics in building institutions and social relations and their relationship to shaping our research agendas...reopens doors long since thought shut.... advances theory building and demonstrates the utility and flaws of a wide range of methodological approaches. It exemplifies what is exciting about this field as it deploys and helps to create a transdisciplinary canon. * Christine B. Harrington _ *
Shapiro and Stone Sweet offer a work of political science which is not simply of interest to legal theorists, especially those interested in the judicial function. The pervasive and substantial examination of the ECJ and the discussions of the comparative method makes this a very readable and an important work for European and comparative lawyers alike. * International and Comparative Law Quarterly *
... not simply a collection of essays, but a combined view of salient issues. * International and Comparative Law Quarterly *
A quality introduction to the subject. * M. C. Kane, University of St Andrews, UK *
