Extract

The Rule of Law in Nascent Democracies: Judicial Politics in Argentina. By Rebecca Bill Chavez. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2004. 272p. $55.00.

This book is a welcome addition to a young but growing body of scholarly work on rule-of-law construction in new democracies from a political science perspective. Rebecca Bill Chavez develops a persuasive study of the conditions under which rule of law is more likely to emerge, through an analysis of judicial politics at the national level in Argentina and in two of its provinces, San Luis and Mendoza.
