Transplanting International Courtsa must-read for anyone who works with international courtschallenges many existing presumptions and rethinks existing models for understanding supranational adjudication. Alter and Helfers comparative analysis of the Andean Tribunal of Justice across several decades of an evolving and volatile political landscape is particularly valuable for those engaged in promoting human rights in the Global South, who will be interested in the ATJs insistence that economic integration also respect fundamental rights. A vital contribution to the under-researched topic of supranational bodies in the developing world, this book re-conceptualizes the operation of all international courts. James Cavallaro, Commissioner and President, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights The European Unions integration through law experiment has generated many attempts to transplant it to other regions. The Andean Tribunal is the most successful of these attempts. It is one of the most active international judicial bodies, yet with a much more limited scope of cases than the European Court of Justice. In this book, Alter and Helfer, two leading scholars of judicial integration, explain the successes and pitfalls of judicial transplants. The authors powerful and convincing analysis highlights why the Andean Tribunal may provide the best example to understand both the potential and the limits of international courts to promote regional integration.
