Is The Law a Mere Parchment Barrier to Human Rights Abuse
The "mere parchment barriers" created by constitutional provisions may lead to decreases in the extent to which nations abuse the human right not to be imprisoned, tortured, killed, or made to disappear arbitrarily or because of your political views. A global pooled cross-national time-series analysis for a 21-year period shows that adopting selected constitutional provisions protecting individual rights and freedoms, promoting judicial independe…
Repression of the Human Right to Personal Integrity Revisited: A Global Cross-National Study Covering the Years 1976-1993
Here we seek to build on our earlier research (Poe and Tate, 1994) by re-testing similar models on a data set covering a much longer time span; the period from 1976 to 1993. Several of our findings differ from those of our earlier work. Here we find statistical evidence that military regimes lead to somewhat greater human rights abuse, defined in terms of violations of personal integrity, once democracy and a host of other factors are controlled.…

Courts and the breakdown and re-creation of Philippine democracy: Evidence from the Supreme Court's agenda
The Judicialization of Politics in the Philippines and Southeast Asia
In Afro-Asia, outside India, it may be that only in the Philippines is the judicialization of politics a significant, current political development. Several factors—liberal democracy, separation of powers, a politics of rights, interest group and opposition use of the courts, and frequently ineffective majoritarian institutions with limited public respect—make substantial judicialization of contemporary Philippine politics possible or even likely…
Repression of Human Rights to Personal Integrity in the 1980s: A Global Analysis
This crossnational study seeks to explain variations in governmental repression of human rights to personal integrity (state terrorism) in a 153-country sample during the eighties. We outline theoretical perspectives on this topic and subject them to empirical tests using a technique appropriate for our pooled cross-sectional time-series design, namely, ordinary least squares with robust standard errors and a lagged dependent variable. We find de…
Building a Scientific Comparative Judicial Politics and Arousing the Dragons of Antiscientism
Following both Pritchett and Gibson, we thought we were, in "Authoritarianism and the Functions of Courts" (Tate & Haynie 1993), extolling the virtues of an infrequently grown, but potentially beautiful or even useful, floral species: falsifiable, reproducible research on the role of courts outside the United States of America. Indeed, because our bloom grew outside the well-cultivated plots of the industrialized democracies, we thought it might …
Courts and Crisis Regimes: A Theory Sketch with Asian Case Studies
A set of concepts for the comparison of the institutional roles of judiciaries is used to sketch a preliminary theory of the interactions of courts and crisis regimes. Case studies of the Philippines, India, and Pakistan supreme courts in the 1970s explore how their crisis regimes responded to the independence, impartiality, scope, and depths of their supreme courts' decision making and how those courts were or were not able to maintain their per…
Authoritarianism and the Functions of Courts: A Time Series Analysis of the Philippine Supreme Court, 1961-1987
Focusing on the independent and powerful pre-martial law Philippine Supreme Court, we investigate the impact of the establishment and breakdown of authoritarianism on the court's performance of the functions of conflict resolution, social control, and administration. We develop hypotheses concerning and models of the impacts of the onset, consolidation, and breakdown of martial law authoritarianism under Ferdinand Marcos on that court's handling …
Recruitment to the British Appellate Judiciary, 1876-1972: Causal Models
This study seeks to advance understanding about the recruit ment of judges to the appellate courts in Great Britain, the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords, from the ranks of those serving in the higher British judiciary between 1876 and 1972. Beginning with a litera ture search to support theory construction to the topic, it postulates a set of interrelated hypotheses explaining this recruitment and states these hypotheses formally and in a …

Time Binding and Theory Building in Personal Attribute Models of Supreme Court Voting Behavior, 1916-88
We discuss the circumstances under which analysts may expect statistical models to be time and content bound and suggest that conclusions that personal attributes models are powerful only for the postwar U.S. Supreme Court justices are premature. We present a personal attributes theory of liberalism in the U.S. Supreme Court for the past seven decades that includes political, social cleavage, family origins, and career socialization variables. We…
Some Introductory Notes
The authority of a court to declare laws and official acts unconstitutional is a practice which sheds a strong light on the interplay of law and politics. It is a judicial act which gives to judges so obvious a share in policymaking that where it prevails there is little room left for the pretense that judges only apply the law (Ehrmann, 1976, p 138
Decision Making in the Canadian Supreme Court: Extending the Personal Attributes Model Across Nations
Theory-based personal attributes models of the civil rights and liberties and economics decision making of the Canadian Supreme Court justices serving from 1949-1985 are developed from Lipset and Rokkan's (1967) approach to explaining mass political behavior. The models show both behaviors to be influenced by Quebec/non-Quebec regional origins and religious affiliation, political party, being appointed by the last laissez faire Liberal Prime Mini…

Personal Attribute Models of the Voting Behavior of U.S. Supreme Court Justices: Liberalism in Civil Liberties and Economics Decisions, 1946–1978
The prevailing view among students of judicial politics is that judges' background characteristics or personal attributes cannot provide satisfactory explanations for variation in their decision-making behavior. Parsimonious attribute models reported here account for 70 to 90 percent of the variance in the voting of postwar Supreme Court justices in split decisions concerning civil rights and liberties, and economics. Seven variables representing…

Individual and Contextual Variables in British Voting Behavior: An Exploratory Note
This note reports the results of an initial exploration into the significance of the social environments (“contexts”) in which people live in the shaping of their individual political behavior. Many scholars have argued that social scientists should pay more serious attention to contextual variables when they go about constructing social theories. But there have been few systematic efforts to demonstrate empirically the overall importance of cont…
