`Transplanting International Courts a must-read for anyone who
works with international courts challenges many existing
presumptions and rethinks existing models for understanding
supranational adjudication. Alter and Helfers' comparative analysis
of the Andean Tribunal of Justice across several decades of an
evolving and volatile political landscape is particularly valuable
for those engaged in promoting human rights in the Global South,
who will be
interested in the ATJs insistence that economic integration also
respect fundamental rights. A vital contribution to the
under-researched topic of supranational bodies in the developing
world, this book
re-conceptualizes the operation of all international courts.'
