Description: Presents a powerful argument for the limitations of judicial action to support significant social reform now updated with new data and analysis. Since its first publication in 1991, The Hollow Hope has spurred debate and challenged assumptions on both the left and the right about the ability of courts to bring about durable political and social change. What Gerald N. Rosenberg argued then and what he confirms today through new evidence in this edition is that it is nearly impossible to generate significant reforms through litigation: American courts are ineffective and relatively weak far from the uniquely powerful sources for change they are often portrayed to be. This third edition includes new data and a substantially updated analysis of civil rights abortion rights and access women's rights and marriage equality. Addressing changes in the political and social environment Rosenberg draws lessons from the re - segregation of public schools victories in marriage equality and new obstacles to abortion access. Through these and other cases the third edition confirms the power of the book's original explanatory framework and deepens our understanding of the limits of judicial action in support of social reform as well as the conditions under which courts do produce change. Up - to - date thorough and thought - provoking The Hollow Hope remains vital reading.
