The Democracy We Want: Standards of Review and Democratic Embeddedness at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights

Abstract

Reading In Whose Name? is like meeting an old schoolmate -that not-alltoo interesting person who, in fact, turned out to be a rather fascinating character, full of ambition, achievements, and contradictions. That old acquaintance is, of course, the international court, whose adjudicative powers in the era of global governance are studied by Armin von Bogdandy and Ingo Venzke with the drive and gusto of a zoologist just made privy of a new species of tiger.
