Description
The Limits of Judicialization explores the paradoxical trajectory of judicial activism in Latin America, tracing how courts initially emerged as powerful instruments for advancing social and political rights. The authors analyze the complex dynamics that transformed optimistic expectations about judicial reform into widespread disillusionment and institutional resistance.
Through comparative regional analysis, the book investigates why judicialization strategies that once promised progressive change have encountered significant backlash from political and social actors. It examines the institutional, political, and social factors that constrain judicial power and shape its effectiveness in advancing rights-based agendas.
This work provides essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the possibilities and limitations of courts as agents of social change, offering nuanced perspectives on judicial reform, democracy, and institutional development in Latin America.
