Yet with unelected judges reviewing - and potentially overturning - the work of the people's representatives, it also has long been, in Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' words, 'the gravest and most delicate' task that courts undertake. This book establishes a framework to consider the value of judicial review in modern democracy, grouping answers to this question into one of three main arguments, or 'visions' for judicial review: legalist; rights-protecting; and majoritarian. The strength of these visions is then tested with an original dataset of constitutional court outcomes from four European courts - Poland, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Latvia - to determine whether any vision meets its promise. In fact, there is surprising support for the potentially majoritarian benefits of judicial review - a finding that challenges much of our existing theory regarding the value of the courts in modern democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Bricker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785521470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785521478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECPR Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Benjamin Bricker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001760661759,"sku":"9781785521478","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_331060d6-1c69-4bd9-b8ea-1b106fe03bf6.jpg?v=1751602055","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visions-of-judicial-review-benjamin-bricker-9781785521478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
