Law and Management: Comparatively Assessing the Reach of Judicialization

  • Chapter
The Civil Service in the 21st Century

Abstract

The concept of judicialization circumscribes a multiplicity of meanings. In this chapter, we focus on one of the ‘newest’ meanings of judicialization, what Tate and Vallinder (1995b: 516) refer to as ‘Judicialization I’: judges and judicial institutions as policy makers complementing, substituting, or competing with politically accountable policy actors.
