Judicial Review and Electoral Law in a Global Perspective

Edited by Cristina Fasone, Edmondo Mostacci and Graziella Romeo

This book fills a gap in constitutional law by investigating the global trend towards substantive constitutional adjudication of electoral legislation. On what premises is this judicial scrutiny grounded, what can explain the trend, and with what consequences for representative democracy?

Given the global reach, the combination of theoretical and practical approaches, and the comparative assessment provided, this work is of interest for academics in the fields of law, political science and philosophy, and for policy-makers and judges in constitutional democracies across the continents.
