tailieunhanh - The Struggle for Constitutional Power law, politics, and economic development in egypt

Why would an entrenched authoritarian regime establish an independent constitutional court with the power of judicial review? This is one of the most intriguing questions for students of contemporary Egyptian politics. In a country where the ruling regime exerts its influence on all facets of political and associational life, it granted the Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) substantial autonomy from executive control. | 9780521876049 TAHIR MOUSTAFA Cammidcìi. Cambridge THE STRUGGLE FOR CONSTITUTIONAL POWER Law. Politics and Economic Development in Egypt This page intentionally left blank the struggle for constitutional power For nearly three decades scholars and policymakers have placed considerable stock in judicial reform as a panacea for the political and economic turmoil plaguing developing countries. 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 this book 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 established a surprisingly independent constitutional court to address a series of economic and administrative pathologies that lie at the heart of authoritarian political systems. Although the Court helped the regime to institutionalize state functions and attract investment it simultaneously opened new avenues through which rights advocates and opposition parties could challenge the regime. The book examines the dynamics of legal mobilization in this most unlikely political environment. Standing at the intersection of political science economics and comparative law The Struggle for Constitutional Power challenges conventional wisdom and provides new insights into perennial questions concerning the barriers to institutional development economic growth and democracy in the developing world. Tamir Moustafa is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He teaches and writes in the areas of comparative law and society religion and politics and politics of the Middle East. He was the recipient of the Edward S.
