In this provocative work, Martin Shapiro proposes an original model for the study of courts, one that emphasizes the different modes of decision making and the multiple political roles that characterize the functioning of courts in different political systems.

Promoting competition has been a leading theme of public policy over the past 30 years. In the United States, the movement began in the 1970s with efforts to rewrite the rules for aviation, trucking, and telecommunications. Since then, many other industries have come in for similar treatment, with banking, securities, agriculture, and energy heading the list. This trend is often described as "deregulation," but "market design" is a better term. Promoting competition is not just about removing legal controls and then getting out of the way. It also requires that policymakers consciously...

Across the globe, the domain of the litigator and the judge has radically expanded, making it increasingly difficult for those who study comparative and international politics, public policy and regulation, or the evolution of new modes of governance to avoid encountering a great deal of law and courts. In On Law, Politics, and Judicialization, two of the world's leading political scientists present the best of their research, focusing on how to build and test a social science of law and courts. Chosen empirical settings include the United States, the GATT-WTO, France and Germany,...

A well-respected political study of free speech on a changing Supreme Court in an era of rights jurisprudence. One of the great continuing disputes of American politics is about the role of the Supreme Court. Another is about the First Amendment and freedom of speech. This book is about both. As a classic defense of the responsible yet openly political role of the Court, this book belies the notion reasserted most recently by Chief Justice Roberts that judges are just the "neutral umpires" in the legal ballgame. Especially in the realm of free speech, the Court must own up to its political...

From Prison to Power A Tale of Intrigue and Adventure in Ancient Times Paul Duevel says, "In his "Scroll of Naska Series" author Martin Shapiro transports the reader to the Middle East of 1600 BC. I found myself quickly caught up in the fascinating culture of these Biblical times and places, and was reluctant to put it down for fear of breaking the spell. Naska's story is filled with passion, cunning and violence. Life in this era was not for the meek, and Shapiro captures this essence with many scenes of love, hate and revenge. I can't wait for the next in the series " The Pharaoh's...
