New edited volume on CEE constitutional courts published by Routledge

A new edited volume by the JUDICON-EU project with chapters on Central and Eastern European constitutional courts has been published by Routledge. (LINK)

The volume is a response to recent confrontations between constitutional courts and parliamentary majorities in several European countries, which have sparked interest in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature. The volume examines the extent to which the alleged concentration of power on the side of the courts may have limited the scope of action of the dominant political actors. In order to explore the diversity and measure the strength of judicial decisions, the authors of this work have developed a methodology that provides a more nuanced picture of the practice of constitutional adjudication in Central and Eastern Europe between 1990 and 2020.

In addition to the ten cases covered by country experts, the volume includes a thorough review of recent literature and a comparative chapter that provides a broad perspective on the topic.
