This Research Handbook is a multi-faceted, comparative analysis of how law and political systems interact around the world. Chapters include analyses of judicial deference, congressional support, democratic representation, politicization of courts, public support, and judicialization across multiple jurisdictions in the United States and abroad. Chapters also investigate transnational courts and the linkages between international and domestic law and politics.

‘Definitely not the usual assortment of judicial studies, this exciting and innovative research uses sophisticated methodologies to analyze evolving interactions between law and politics in a variety of political systems across the globe. Written by an impressive array of esteemed scholars and rising stars, this fresh new collection is truly an outstanding achievement.’
