Pathways To Judicial Power In Transitional States: Perspectives From African Courts

This book explores the complex dynamics between law and politics in three post-independent states of sub-Saharan Africa. It examines the complex and sometimes intriguing relationship between the construction of judicial power on the one hand, and the institutional characteristics of the courts and regime setting, arguing that the emergence of judicial power though fraught with many challenges, presents a unique opportunity for consolidating democracy.
