Courts are charged with spurring economic development, safeguarding human rights, and even facilitating transitions to democracy. How realistic are these expectations, and in what political contexts can judicial reforms deliver their expected benefits?In The Struggle for Constitutional Power, Tamir Moustafa addresses these issues through an examination of the politics of the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court, the most important experiment in constitutionalism in the Arab World. The Egyptian regime estabilished a surprisingly independent constitutional court to address a series of economic and administrative pathologie that lie at the heart of authoritarian political systems. 4aEgypt.
