It indicates the limits of path dependence and argues instead that discursive institutionalism is the most appropriate method for analyzing processes of institutional learning. Combining theoretical and empirical research, it builds the argument that judicial independence promotes the case for deliberative democracy over rational choice or strategic action approaches. Finally, the book suggests that by introducing communicative and cognitive variables in our understanding of key actors and processes, we are more capable of bridging institutional origin and legacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and policy-makers in Constitutional Law, Constitutional Politics, and Constitutional History.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542329680110,"sku":"9781032134574","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/constitutional-origin-and-norm-creation-in-colombia","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
