Title: The Politics of Judicial Review in Russia, 1989–2010
Abstract: Once a constitutional court has been established, there is no guarantee that it will be used. Such a court can become a powerful political actor when its opinion is sought increasingly by politicians to resolve political disputes, particularly those dealing with the distribution of power in the government (when one branch of the government challenges the authority of another to act). From the early Russian experience with judicial review as well as the experience of numerous other countries around the world, it is evident that constitutional courts are not always able to navigate successfully in the political realm.
