The impetus for this volume was a multitude of conversations regarding pedagogy and teaching related to our judicial process courses. Based on these conversations, we identified four main threads or needs of our colleagues: First, many of us bring or want to bring more “political science” into our classes, though we also want to avoid the high costs of reinventing successful existing courses to do so. Second, our programs all require a political methodology course, and we want to reinforce those lessons in our substantive courses. We want to encourage our students’ understanding of how to read and understand research studies as well as how to craft their own research questions. Third, we want to keep our courses as current as possible. And fourth, we wanted to find a way to bring the cost of our courses down, as we see so many students struggle with the high costs of a college degree. This volume (as well as any future editions) addresses each of these concerns. Open Judicial Politics is a compilation of new and original research in judicial politics written specifically for the undergraduate audience, thus providing accessible examples of political science research that also address some of the more current concerns and controversies in our field. Additionally, every article is accompanied by some type of classroom activity—from basic discussion questions to full-blown simulations—that makes it easier for instructors to adapt the material to their courses and enhance classes with interactives. The chapters of the volume generally follow the well-worn path of most textbooks of judicial politics, making the volume an easy companion for adoption, and the material should fit seamlessly into the preestablished structures of most courses. Finally, the volume is an open-source resource, and adoption of the text adds no cost for our students. Whether one uses one or ten articles, the cost remains nil. This volume includes twenty-two original contributions that we have grouped into nine parts. The studies cover the breadth and scope of the field of judicial politics, with attention to appellate and trial courts, national high courts and intermediate appellate courts, and US courts and their international counterparts, thus providing a large range of materials to complement any judicial process course or text. We are especially pleased that undergraduate students played key roles in the creation of several of these studies, performing data collection and analysis as well as complete authorship from stem to stern. For the second edition, we have added fifteen articles that continue to illustrate key concepts and aspects of judicial politics, following the same formula of empirical research tailored to an undergraduate audience, accompanied by a variety of classroom activities.

Dieser Band erscheint zu Ehren von Joachim Jens Hesse, einem Wissenschaftler, dessen facettenreiches Oeuvre als ein Versuch verstanden werden kann, in mehreren Hinsichten "grenzüberschreitend" zu wirken. Dazu zählen vor allem die Förderung interdisziplinärer Zusammenarbeit zwischen Rechts-, Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften, die Analyse des öffentlichen Sektors im internationalen und interkulturellen Vergleich sowie die Überwindung der "Kluft" zwischen Staatswissenschaften und Staatspraxis. Der vorliegende Band befasst sich mit einem Gegenstand, der die benannten Dimensionen in exemplarischer Weise erfüllt: dem Wechselverhältnis von nationalstaatlichen Verfassungen und ihrer internationalen Umwelt. In diesem Zusammenhang hat die fortschreitende Transnationalisierung nicht nur dazu beigetragen, die ehemals klaren Grenzen zwischen den beiden Bereichen zu verwischen, sondern auch wachsendes Interesse und zunehmenden Bedarf an vergleichenden, interdisziplinären und anwendungsbezogenen Verfassungsanalysen hervorgerufen. This book is dedicated to Joachim Jens Hesse, a scholar whose multi-faceted work may be characterised as an attempt at "crossing borders" in several respects. These primarily include fostering interdisciplinary cooperation between law, economics and social sciences, analysing public sector developments in an international and intercultural perspective as well as bridging the "gap" between academia and practical politics. Therefore, the volume deals with a subject that covers these features in an exemplary manner: the interrelationship between nation-state constitutions and their international environments. In this context, ongoing processes of transnationalisation have not only contributed to blurring the formerly clear-cut boundaries between these two domains, but also provoked a growing interest in and demand for comparative, interdisciplinary and applied research on constitutional developments. The authors of this Festschrift include eminent lawyers, economists and political scientists from Europe, the United States and East Asia who worked together with Joachim Jens Hesse in various contexts.
