The creation of constitutional courts was one of the major milestones in the re-creation of the democratic system in these countries. In Europe constitutional courts exert much of the functions of the Supreme Court of the US. However, the immediate western European samples showed marked differences, which is why besides similarities, the theory and practice of constitutional law show differences in these four countries. Procházka analyses and explains these similarities and differences. Mission Accomplished contributes to the literature on comparative constitutional law by offering insights into the constitutional discourses that go beyond the discussion of notorious cases and events in these four countries. Procházka argues that the various historical, cultural, socio-psychological, political and institutional contexts have translated into different modes of constitutional adjudication and interpretation Analysis Constitutional courts, Constitutional law, Czechia, Hungary, Judicial review, Poland, Slovakia Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-346) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Constitutional courts -- Europe, Eastern Constitutional law -- Europe, Eastern Judicial review -- Europe, Eastern Political questions and judicial power -- Europe, Eastern Post-communism -- Europe, Eastern POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Government -- Judicial Branch.
