Supreme Court Decision-Making : New Institutionalist Approaches, Paperback / softback Book

Supreme Court Decision-Making : New Institutionalist Approaches Paperback / softback

Edited by Cornell W. Clayton, Howard Gillman

Paperback / softback

Description

What influences decisions of the US Supreme Court? For decades social scientists focused on the ideology of individual justices.

This text moves beyond that focus by exploring how justices are influenced by the distinctive features of courts as institutions and their place in the political system.

Drawing on interpretive-historical institutionalism as well as rational choice theory, a group of scholars consider such factors as the influence of jurisprudence, the unique characteristics of supreme courts, the dynamics of coalition building, and the effects of social movements.
