At the same time, the Court proved remarkably effective in asserting its institutional role in post-apartheid politics. While each of these accomplishments is noteworthy in its own right, the Court's simultaneous success in legal and political terms demands separate investigation. Drawing on and synthesising various insights from judicial politics and legal theory, this study offers an interdisciplinary explanation for the Chaskalson Court's achievement. Rather than a purely political strategy of the kind modelled by rational choice theorists, the study argues that the Court's achievement is attributable to a series of adjudicative strategies in different areas of law. In combination, these strategies allowed the Court to satisfy institutional norms of public reason-giving while at the same time avoiding political attack"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000888131 61010 $$aSouth Africa.$$bConstitutional Court$$xHistory. 000888131 650_0 $$aConstitutional courts$$zSouth Africa$$xHistory. 000888131 650_0 $$aConstitutional law$$zSouth Africa. 000888131 651_0 $$aSouth Africa$$xPolitics and government$$xHistory. 000888131 830_0 $$aCambridge studies in constitutional law ;$$v6. 000888131 852__ $$bebk 000888131 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1139580$$zOnline Access 000888131 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:888131$$pGLOBAL_SET 000888131 980__ $$aEBOOK 000888131 980__ $$aBIB 000888131 982__ $$aEbook 000888131 983__ $$aOnline
