"This book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to take stock of the role that law and courts have played and are playing today in Latin American politics. Beginning in the 1980s, Latin American courts, especially supreme and constitutional courts, left behind decades of subservience and irrelevance to become crucial political actors across the region. In the intervening decades, the law and legal institutions gained prominence as tools for social contestation and change. Like never before, judges entered the political maelstrom, serving as arbiters between the branches of government in heated debates over policy and the reach of presidential or legislative prerogatives. Working with prosecutors, courts also investigated corruption - not only, as in the past, the misdeeds of prior administrations but also those of people still in power. In the process, politicians began to realize that laws and constitutions perhaps meant mostly as window dressing were becoming more costly, as courts might actually hold them to the standards they were creating. Motivated by these developments, individuals and social movements turned the courts into battlegrounds for the realization and expansion of civil, political, cultural, and socio-economic rights"--

The Limits of Judicialization pushes the boundaries of the field. It is a seminal contribution to the study of judicial politics in comparative perspective, and an essential read for anyone interested in courts in Latin America, including graduate students, scholars, and practitioners. It engages masterfully with existing research and opens new and fruitful avenues for future work in the region and beyond. Raul Sanchez-Urribarri, Senior Lecturer in Crime, Justice and Legal Studies, La Trobe University, Melbourne Illuminating how a 'superstructure of judicialization' propelled courts into politics in Latin America, this extraordinary volume examines the results, and indeed limitations, of judicial involvement in public policy and political disputes in the region. Through a rich cross-disciplinary, cross-regional dialogue, contributors' portraits reveal how institutional weakness and entrenched interests compromise courts' ability to enliven progressive promises and punish public misconduct. Diana Kapiszewski, Distinguished Associate Professor of Government, Georgetown University Constitutional reform across Latin America in the late 20th century created new judicial pathways for addressing social and institutional challenges at the heart of the democratization project. This essential collection of essays from leading scholars illuminates the political challenges that the region's courts inherited as they attempted to carry out their new roles as well as several unintended consequences of judicializing politics. Jeffrey K. Staton, Professor of Political Science, Emory University The Limits of Judicialization explains why the judicialization of politics failed to guarantee greater rights protection and signals key factors for understanding the role of courts in authoritarian regression. The combination of new empirical data and rigorous theory make this a particularly useful book for the classroom. Rachel Sieder, Senior Research Professor, Center for Research and Graduate Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS), Mexico City
