Courts under Constraints: Judges, Generals, and Presidents in Argentina - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Helmke, Gretchen (University of Rochester, New York)

In stark contrast to conventional wisdom, the central findings of the book contradict the longstanding assumption that only independent judges rule against the government of the day.
