The Israeli Supreme Court and the Human Rights Revolution: Courts as Agenda Setters

Autor Assaf Meydani
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mai 2013
This book explains the reciprocal relations between the Supreme Court and the Israeli political system. It is based on a unique approach that contends that the non-governability of the political system and an alternative political culture are two key formal and informal variables affecting the behavior of several political players within the Israeli arena. The analysis illustrates the usefulness of such a model for analyzing long-term socio-political processes and explaining the actions of the players. Until this model changes significantly, the decisions of the High Court of Justice express the values of the state and enable Israel to remain a nation that upholds human rights. The Court's decisions determine the normative educational direction and reflect Israel's democratic character with regard to the values of human rights.

Recenzii

"This important book takes uses quantitative empirical analysis backed by qualitative case studies to carefully examine the role that the Israeli High Court of Justice has played in Israel’s political life. The important findings demonstrate the corelationship between the HCJ and other actors in the political system."

- Jeffrey Segal

"An important increment to an important subject, which may prove useful for Israel studies students as well as for those engaging in pure comparative work within the subfield of public law."

- Amnon Rubinstein
Professor of Law, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, 2006 Israel Prize Winner for the Study of Law


"In this innovative study the author analyzes the role of Israeli supreme court in social and political engineering by initiating institutional changes in Israel. Meydani successfully develops an interdisciplinary approach to the study of public law, politics and policy."

   - Shimon Shetreet
Greenblatt Professor of Public and International Law, The Faculty of Law, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel


"The Israeli Supreme Court and the Human Rights Revolution is a marvelous book. Not only will it inform future accounts of this fascinating Court, it will serve as a foundational resource for all work examining the role courts play in their societies."
