In contrast to conventional wisdom, the central findings of the book challenge the government of the day. Set in the context of Argentina, the study brings together qualitative case studies and statistical analyses with spatial and game theoretic models to explore the conditions under which courts rule against the government. In addition to shedding new light on dynamics of court-executive relations in Argentina, the study provides general lessons about institutions, instability, and the rule of law. In the process, the study builds a new set of connections among diverse bodies of scholarship, including U.S judicial politics, comparative institutional analysis, positive political theory, and Latin American Politics.
