This paper aims to analyze the results from an empirical study about judicial review in Mexico from 1995 to 2006, during the democratization process, in the light of the concept of deliberative democracy.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the results from an empirical study about judicial review in Mexico from 1995 to 2006, during the democratization process, in the light of the concept of deliberative democracy. Thus, it is divided into three parts. Part One gives some background about the historical, political and legal context in the Mexican case. Part Two shows the findings of the quantitative analysis about the Constitutional Controversies and Actions of Unconstitutionality settled by the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice for the last period of the authoritarian regime (1995-2000) and the first government of an opposition party (2000-2006). The last part is devoted to the discussion of the findings, as well as the discussion about the role of constitutional courts in new democracies from a deliberative point of view; how constitutional courts can contribute to settle democracy through their –deliberative- judgments.
