Summary:

"This book explores what judges do and how they perceive their roles in the context of growing dissensus over liberal democracy. Focusing on the European landscape, it asks eighteen judges how they perceive their roles when judicial independence and democracy are under pressure. The book features interviews with judges from various EU and non-EU Member States and courts, complemented by a series of academic commentaries discussing the relationship between law and politics in times of dissensus over liberal democracy. While the book engages with these issues through European narratives, its findings contribute to broader debates beyond Europe and the EU"-- Provided by publisher.
