Political Foundations of Judicial Independence in Dictatorship and Democracy

Auteur: Epperly, Brad (Assistant Professor of Political Science, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Department of Political Science, University of South Carolina)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
Why do political actors tolerate courts able to check their power? This book argues that judicial independence as electorally-induced 'insurance' is about the risks of losing power, risks that are higher in autocratic regimes. Using a mixed-methods approach, it develops a theory of both de facto and de jure independence across regime type.
