to the public and to the political domain.
Constitutional Implications
Research in four European countries – Germany, The Netherlands, Norway and
Switzerland – shows how quality management can be practised in court admi-
nistration while safeguarding judicial values. Results are discussed per country in
terms of the professional judicial perspective, the managerial perspective, and the
political perspective. Recommendations are formulated on the basis of a compara-
tive analysis across the countries.

This book invites judges and scholars in public administration and political science
to take an interest in court management. It may help managers and policymakers
in the field of justice to make strategic choices that keep our democracies resilient
within constitutional boundaries.
