Courts in Non-Democratic Systems, Democratisation and Democratic Breakdown

Abstract

To understand the role of Constitutional Courts and Judicial Politics in different political systems accurately, we need to expand our knowledge beyond democratic systems. Scholars started to explore the role of Courts in authoritarian regimes (Ginsburg 2008). Nevertheless further discussions about the issues and approaches are necessary as well comparative studies. Beyond more investigations are necessary about the roles played by Courts in the democratisation process as well as the democratic breakdown. We expect papers dealing hopefully in a comparative way with any of this issues.
