“…It tends to tick in when the stakes are high, such as when the executive or other power-holders feel their position threatened. It is thus particularly damaging for the courts' political accountability function, their ability to impartially enforce the rules of the political system, for example in relation to election fraud (Gloppen et al, 2004;Gloppen, 2010).…”

“…Rules of ratification or confirmation by parliament have often limited effect, particularly in dominant party contexts. In some cases the executive, like President Museveni in Uganda, has explicitly expressed intentions to 'appoint cadres to the bench' (Gloppen et al, 2004;Gloppen and Kazimbasi, 2008;Gloppen, 2010). In South Africa, some have interpreted ANC government officials as having a similar intention when they pursue the (otherwise legitimate) aim of 'transformation of the judiciary' (DA, 2007;Molele and Makinana, 2012).…”

“…Entre los principales bloques de análisis se encuentra el de las perspectivas judiciales, las cuales analizan el involucramiento del sistema judicial en la represión pasada (Aguilar, 2013), el rol de los jueces y la independencia judicial (Skaar, 2011;Gloppen et al, 2004), la proclividad de las cortes a los temas de derechos humanos (González, 2012;2014) y las característi-cas de los sistemas penales (Michel y Sikkink, 2013;Michel, 2012). Por otra parte, el argumento de las transiciones del autoritarismo a la democracia (O'Donnell y Schmitter 1986;Huntington, 1994) ha sido reformulado para establecer que el balance de poder entre las nuevas y las viejas élites es determinante en la implementación de mecanismos de rendición de cuentas (Vinjamuri y Snyder, 2015;Elmer, 2013;Pion-Berlin, 1994;Zalaquett, 1992).…”

“…Esta cita refleja una tendencia que ha adquirido gran fuerza entre politólogos interesados en la consolidación democrática de los países de la "tercera ola": la apuesta a que jueces liberales instilen valores compatibles con el Estado constitucional de derecho en aquellas nuevas democracias en donde la clase política en su conjunto tiende a comportarse de manera no liberal (Gloppen et al, 2003;Smith, 2003). La idea es que jueces ilustrados y abiertos a la deliberación racional contengan los impulsos autoritarios de los políticos profesionales que pueblan los demás poderes del Estado 13 .…”
