ReviewsProfessor Calabresi has performed an invaluable service for everyone who works in the fields of comparative government, comparative law, and political theory. This pair of studies of the diverse modes of judicial review in fifteen common law and civil law countries will be an indispensable aid to scholars and practitioners for years to come." -Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University, "For those with an interest in the historical and theoretical aspects of judicial review, this two-volume set will come as a source of much edification and delight ... This is a very useful contribution to comparative constitutionalism." -- The Commonwealth Lawyer, "For those with an interest in the historical and theoretical aspects of judicial review, this two-volume set will come as a source of much edification and delight ... This is a very useful contribution to comparative constitutionalism." -- The Commonwealth Lawyer"Professor Calabresi has performed an invaluable service for everyone who works in the fields of comparative government, comparative law, and political theory. This pair of studies of the diverse modes of judicial review in fifteen common law and civil law countries will be an indispensable aid to scholars and practitioners for years to come." -Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University"A much needed clarification of one of the great constitutional developments in the world's democracies." -Gordon S. Wood, Alva O. Way University Professor and Professor of History, Brown University"Professor Calabresi has magnificently succeeded in his quest for the Holy Grail of global constitutionalism. Examining the world's fifteen biggest constitutional democracies, he shows how judicial review starts and what causes it to grow. This is a noble achievement, offering us a truly panoramic and global view of judicial review, one of America's most important but least understood exports." -Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale University"Beyond supplying a vast quantity of information in English on major constitutional laws, Professor Steven Calabresi's imposing work makes two significant contributions to the comparative agenda. First, it shows a commitment to the normative value of foreign law even as countries ranging from Hungary to the United Kingdom, from the United States to Brazil, and from Poland to India indulge in forms of retrenchment vis-à-vis foreignness. Secondly, it demonstrates how conservative values-Professor Calabresi is a prominent Republican on the U.S. scene-can accommodate a dedication to foreign legal studies. The epistemological significance of both brave achievements can hardly be overstated." -Pierre Legrand, Professor of Law, The Sorbonne

SynopsisThis two-volume set examines the origins and growth of judicial review in the key G-20 constitutional democracies, which include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, India, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, and the European Union, as well as Israel. The volumes consider five different theories, which help to explain the origins of judicial review, and identify which theories apply best in the various countries discussed. They consider not only what gives rise to judicial review originally, but also what causes of judicial review lead it to become more powerful and prominent over time.
