This book is for scholars interested in the comparative study of judicial review. It develops a theoretical framework for understanding how this institution shapes societal understandings of the law/politics relation. Its findings cast light on the conditions under which judicial review drives a sustainable commitment to constitutionally limited government.

This detailed case study of the performance of the South African Constitutional Court is aimed at comparative judicial politics scholars with an interest in the role of constitutional courts in new democracies and at political scientists and legal academics with an interest in South Africa.
