When Do Courts Matter? The Rights Enforcement between Aspirations and Inequalities
The fields of comparative constitutionalism and socio-legal politics will greatly benefit from political scientist Sandra Botero’s Courts That Matter. At its core lies a question that has long haunted scholars, practitioners, and activists: can courts really advance socioeconomic rights, or are they condemned to issue aspirational decisions that fail to alter entrenched inequalities? Botero tackles this debate directly, weaving together rich empirical evidence from Argentina and Colombia with comparative insights from India.
