This is a book that moves freely and comfortably between political theory and social science, and it will attract wide attention. Hirschl is to be congratulated for producing this long overdue study. Hirschl makes a convincing case that courts do little, if anything, for advancing progressive notions of social justice that are not achieved by democratic politics. (Rogers Smith, University of Pennsylvania)Towards Juristocracy has many virtues. (Leslie Friedman Goldstein Law and Society Review 2004-06-01)Even if the reader does not agree with Hirschl's final thoughts, his thought-provoking conclusions will inspire questions regarding the role of the judiciary in constitutional democracies and encourage critical reflection regarding the future of judicial review. Hirschl draws on the experience of constitutional revolutions in Canada, New Zealand, Israel, and South AfricaThis is an ambitious and important book. E. Ran Hirsch

Her background as an entrepreneur and online marketer has helped her so much to come up with this wonderful book. This memoir also allows Tony Fletcher to take his place amongst those who through varied means have documented particular parts of pop and not-

Hirschl demonstrates that whereas judicial empowerment through constitutionalization has a limited impact on advancing progressive notions of distributive justice, it has a transformative effect on political discourse. This self-interested coalition of legal innovators determines the timing, extent, and nature of constitutional reforms. In countries and supranational entities around the globe, constitutional reform has transferred an unprecedented amount of power from representative institutions to judiciaries. The global trend toward juristocracy, Hirschl argues, is part of a broader process whereby political and economic elites, while they profess support for democracy and sustained development, attempt to insulate policymaking from the vicissitudes of democratic politics.. Rather, it is best understood as the product of a strategic interplay among hege
