APSA-ECPR Panel: The Judiciary and Inter-Branch-Relations

Abstract

Provided that constitutional review spreads across the democratic systems we need to systematically test the various approaches and theories developed for the US Supreme Court. We expect the papers to follow this perspective; they may comparatively investigate a number of issues such as institution-building, institutional settings, intra-court decision-making, and the relation between courts and other actors. This panel is co-organized by the Law and Courts section of the American Political Science Association.
