There is a way in which this old book of mine is very relevant right now. A powerful judiciary that protects rights can reduce the stakes of electoral loss, making the loser more willing to concede. There have been no gun-toting #GOP mobs out trying to overturn the #Democracy

My latest blog reflects on the judiciary with a review of a modern classic from @tomginsburg , "Judicial Review in New Democracies: Constitutional Courts in Asian Cases." I reflect on the role of judicial review and the courts in democracy.

Fantastic symposium @AJIL_Unbound on @tomginsburg ’s recent article. Shirley Scott’s contribution is especially 🔥: “It was thus not necessarily the United States that was functioning as the imperial power within international law, but civil society.”
