{"product_id":"rule-by-law-tom-ginsburg-9780521720410","title":"Rule by Law: The Politics of Courts in Authoritarian Regimes","description":"Scholars have generally assumed that courts in authoritarian states are pawns of their regimes, upholding the interests of governing elites and frustrating the efforts of their opponents. As a result, nearly all studies in comparative judicial politics have focused on democratic and democratizing countries. This volume brings together leading scholars in comparative judicial politics to consider the causes and consequences of judicial empowerment in authoritarian states. It demonstrates the wide range of governance tasks that courts perform, as well as the way in which courts can serve as critical sites of contention both among the ruling elite and between regimes and their citizens. Drawing on empirical and theoretical insights from every major region of the world, this volume advances our understanding of judicial politics in authoritarian regimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Ginsburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521720419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521720410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009","brand":"Tom Ginsburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920057434367,"sku":"9780521720410","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2b7ade53-bbb4-47a5-85b8-1411e8554436.jpg?v=1680813362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rule-by-law-tom-ginsburg-9780521720410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
