Courts and Political Institutions (Paperback)

Paperback. The frontier between "law" and "politics" is not always clear-cut. Although courts are allowed to function broadly, governments and parliaments can also make independent decisions. Tim Koopmans compares the way American, British, French and German law and politics handle different issues. For example, highly "political" subjects in one country may constitute legal issues in another. Koopmans considers case law in a range of issues, including human rights protection, federalism, separation of powers, and the impact of European and international law. The frontier between 'law' and 'politics' is not always clear-cut. There is a large area where courts operate but where governments and parliaments make decisions on exactly the same issues. Koopmans considers human rights protection, federalism, separation of powers, equal protection, and the impact of European and international law. This item is printed on demand.
