TLDR

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. The study investigates the conditions under which rule of law is more likely to emerge in Argentina and its provinces San Luis and Mendoza. It does so by analyzing judicial politics at the national level and in those provinces.
