The Indian Supreme Court, the South African Constitutional Court and the Colombian Constitutional Court have been among the most important and creative courts in the Global South. In Asia, Africa and Latin America, they are seen as activist tribunals that have contributed (or attempted to contribute) to the structural transformation of the public and private spheres of their countries. The cases issued by these courts are creating a constitutionalism of the Global South. This book addresses in a direct and detailed way the jurisprudence of these Courts on three key topics: access to justice, cultural diversity and socioeconomic rights. This volume is a valuable contribution to the discussion about the contours and structure of contemporary constitutionalism. It makes explicit that this discussion has interlocutors both in the Global South and Global North while showing the common discourse between them and the differences on how they interpret and solve key constitutional problems.

Liberal concepts of democracy envision courts as key institutions for the promotion and protection of democratic regimes. Yet social science scholarship suggests that courts are fundamentally constrained in ways that undermine their ability to do so. Recognizing these constraints, this book argues that courts can influence regime instability by affecting inter-elite conflict. They do so in three ways: by helping leaders credibly reveal their rationales for policy choices that may appear to violate legal rules; by encouraging leaders to less frequently make decisions that raise concerns about rule violations; and by encouraging the opposition to accept potential rule violations. Courts promote the prudent use of power in each of these approaches. This book evaluates the implications of this argument using a century of global data tracking judicial politics and democratic survival.

Le rite, par la transcendance qu’il manifeste et la pérennité apparente de son déroulement, semble particulièrement adapté à l’analyse des sociétés occidentales d’Ancien Régime dont les normes et les coutumes judiciaires, en particulier, reposaient sur un ensemble de gestes et de paroles codifiés, mêlant les domaines sacré et profane. Objets d’un renouveau historiographique récent, les rituels sont cependant désormais perçus par les historiens tout à la fois comme un outil de restauration du lien social et comme une forme du langage politique. Les études réunies dans ce volume, fruit de la collaboration d’historiens médiévistes et modernistes pour la plupart spécialistes de l’Italie pré-moderne, invitent ainsi le lecteur à porter la réflexion sur le terrain plus politique de l’affirmation de la souveraineté ; en allant au-delà des idées reçues sur le caractère terrifiant des rituels judiciaires, en tissant des comparaisons avec le royaume de France, du bas Moyen Âge jusqu’à la Révolution, elles montrent comment, à partir de la fin de l’époque médiévale, rituel et discours politique s’épaulent l’un l’autre et contribuent à la fabrique du consensus sur lequel repose l’acte de gouvernement. Le rituel, loin de perdre de son importance, se transforme alors en un langage politique efficace qui offre au Prince les moyens de « négocier » l’exercice de son autorité.
