“…The growing involvement of courts in electoral politics undoubtedly demonstrates what Hirschl (2004b, 2008a) has called the judicialization of “mega‐politics”—the involvement of judges in core controversies related to executive branch prerogatives, regime change, restorative justice, and elections. The political implications distinguish this process from related forms of judicialization, such as the much‐analyzed expansion of ordinary constitutional rights jurisprudence into areas of public policy, which Sieder, Schjolden, and Angell (2005a, 4–6) call “judicialization from below.” There is also the more abstract capture of social relations by law (growth of contractual relations and state regulation, spread of legal jargon, etc.) due to the growing complexities of modern societies (see, for a good overview, Blichner and Molander 2008).…”

“…En el desempeño de estos poderes los jueces pueden servir como canalizadores de las demandas y movilizaciones sociales efectuadas por quienes no pueden influir en la construcción de legislación y políticas que los afectan (Cepeda, 2008;Hilbink, 2014;Smulovitz, 2008;Uprimny, 2007). La preponderancia de este poder se ha dado mayormente por la judicialización de la política, fenómeno cuyo abordaje puede realizarse desde varios enfoques, tales como las causas que la generan o los efectos que produce, e incluso cuestionando lo deseable que resulta para el régimen democrático que los jueces se desempeñen tan vigorosamente en arenas otrora políticas (Sieder et al, 2008).…”

“…Sin perjuicio de la existencia de clasificaciones sobre las atribuciones formales de las cortes constitucionales, la mayoría abordan cada arista por separado, o introducen otro tipo de variables como el contexto o la legitimidad de origen para caracterizarlas. No obstante, existe una falencia de estudios integrados que posibiliten la construcción de categorías de cortes a través de la observación de los poderes formales de estos órganos (Helmke y Ríos-Figueroa, 2010;Sieder, Schjolden y Angell, 2008). Esto puede explicarse por los límites que suele atribuirse a la observación per se de la arquitectura institucional, así como a su distancia con la praxis, conjeturando que es necesario considerar otros elementos en interacción con los diseños formales para tener una visión panorámica de las cortes.…”

“…Their increasing importance was also due to favourable developments at the international and national level. These included the enhanced recognition of indigenous peoples' rights in international human rights instruments (particularly the ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples); support for indigenous rights on the part of international organizations such as the World Bank, the UN and a large number of NGOs; and the '500-year jubilee' of Latin American colonization in 1992, which channelled international attention to the situation of the formerly colonized populations (see Sieder 2002, Andolina/Laurie/Radcliffe 2009. At the state level, Bolivia was recognized as 'multicultural and polyethnic' as a result of a constitutional amendment in 1994, and many rights of indigenous peoples were recognized by laws and decrees (see Barié 2003).…”
