A proposito di questo titolo
Political attacks on the judiciary are on the rise in many parts of the world. These developments raise pressing questions: What are the root causes behind such attacks? To what extent do they form part of a broader strategy to weaken democratic checks and balances?
The episode examines current trends across different political systems, highlighting common patterns and context-specific dynamics. It also considers the intended objectives of political discourse directed against judges and court decisions, and outlines criteria for distinguishing between legitimate criticism of rulings and efforts to erode judicial independence.
Further attention is given to the options available to courts when responding to such attacks—seeking ways to preserve institutional integrity without appearing defensive or compromising impartiality. The broader implications for democracy and the rule of law are also explored.
Gordana Mijuk, head of the international desk at the NZZaS since 2017, is discussing with her guests, Prof. Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago, and Prof. Wim Voeermans, Universiteit Leiden.
