Title Locating the Limits of Judicialisation of Judicial Appointments: A Study of India, Kenya and South Africa
Summary The global phenomenon of the judicialisation of judicial appointments is a response to the growing politicisation of judicial appointments in an era of rising judicial power and the consequent judicialisation of politics. Judicial appointments act as a gatekeeping tool to prevent the politicisation of the judicial power. A judicial minority in the judicial appointments reverts back to the politicisation of judicial appointments. Conversely, a judicial majority can create challenges in maintaining democratic accountability. This thesis, through a study of judicial appointments in India, Kenya and South Africa, explores the boundaries of the judicialisation of judicial appointments in striking a balance between the conflicting demands of judicial independence and judicial accountability.
