• Constitutional Courts in Comparative Perspective: A Theoretical Assessment (2015, background): “Using data on 150 countries in the mid-1990s, Stephenson (2003) shows that political competition (measured as alternation in government participation) strongly predicts judicial independence.”
• Why Do Countries Adopt Constitutional Review (2014, unknown): “On the other hand, stronger political parties will have less desire for independent constitutional review because they anticipate successfully advancing their interests in the post-constitutional legislature (Stephenson 2003; Chavez 2004).”
