Amid the growing debate about models of judicial governance and their relationship to democratic quality, this book offers a systematic and empirical study of this relationship. The book thereby contributes to filling in this gap for the European continent. Taking an interdisciplinary politics and law perspective, and combining empirical and theoretical considerations, the book addresses the important link between democracy and judicial governance. In particular, it provides for three interconnected contributions. First, the book provides for a comprehensive classification of European countries into different models of judicial governance. Second, the book analyses empirically the relationship between the design of judicial governance and the quality of democracy. Third, building on those findings, the book presents policy reflections for the reform and improvement of mechanisms for judicial governance in European countries. The book seeks to refine our knowledge about the relationship between judicial governance and democracy, making an important academic and social contribution. In an era in which many democracies backslide and deconsolidate, it assesses to what extent existing mechanisms for judicial governance have contributed to the stability and quality of democratic systems in which they are implemented. Furthermore, the book puts forward reflections to improve the role of organs for judicial governance in fostering the quality of democracy. Since the book introduces in an accessible form key concepts of Judicial Governance, it will be of interest for the general public as well as academics and students in the fields of Law and Political Science. The book also addresses policy makers, as based on our empirical knowledge about the interaction judicial governance and democracy it puts forward ideas for a design of judicial governance that is more capable of protecting democratic systems of government.

Les moyens électroniques ont profondément modifié la pratique et la pensée musicale de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Ils apparaissent à la fois comme un renouvellement du matériau et comme une remise en question des techniques d'écriture traditionnelles. Autant les musiques pop et rock se sont rapidement adaptées au marché, utilisant le matériel standardisé fourni par l'industrie de l'électronique, autant les musiques « savantes », liées aux instituts de recherche, n'ont cessé de développer, depuis l'époque héroïque de la musique concrète et de l'elektronische Musik, des outils nouveaux qui impliquent des critères compositionnels adéquats. Dans ce numéro, musicologues et compositeurs abordent les musiques électroniques sous différents angles : réflexion historique, classification de la nouvelle lutherie, rapports entre pensée compositionnelle et matériau nouveau, perception et notation, implication socio-musicale de la technologie nouvelle, rôle de l'électronique dans la musique pop, analyse socio-esthétique, problèmes esthétiques historiques.
