Opis

This book examines the extent to which the aggregation of power, in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature, may have constrained dominant political actors’ room for manoeuvre. Contributors elaborate a methodology to give a nuanced picture of constitutional adjudication in Central and Eastern Europe between 1990 and 2020.
