| Popis | This chapter conceptualises judicial governance, addresses its main challenges and identifies the new trends in this field. Building on both legal and political science scholarship, it posits three core arguments. First, it argues that it is necessary to look beyond the executive and judicial councils and study also other actors within judicial governance such as chief justices, lower court presidents, judicial associations and judicial academies. Second, it shows that the problem of politicisation does not cease to exist with a creation of judicial councils or judicial appointment commissions. Many informal networks and practices survive formal institutional changes, and, new channels of politicisation, including pressures within judicial self-governance bodies, may emerge. The international pressure to standardise and judicialise judicial governance has so far failed to understand this complexity. Third, the chapter argues that informality and gender norms are crucial for understanding the politics of judicial governance. |
