Book synopsis

Until recently, Courts were not an important§component of political §science research on Latin America. The quantity of§research on the §judiciary does not compare even remotely to the vast§literature on §others institutions. However, despite the relative§inattention to their §role, courts are institutions whose performance has§concrete and §relevant effects on the socio-political system.§Indeed, Courts have §currently emerged as active participants in the§political process §offering new opportunities to citizens, social§movements, interest §groups, and politicians. §Focusing on three countries of Central America (Costa§Rica, §Nicaragua and Guatemala), this book illustrates how§far the political§system in these countries is shaped in significant§ways by the role of §Courts as political institutions. Throughout a§comparative approach, §this study offers what may be the first§cross-national analysis §explicitly designed to serve as a comprehensive§measure of the §political role of High Courts.
