Ruggiero provides a systematic evaluation of the OCyinterdependent natureOCO of judicial power within three federal systems. She seeks to answer the question: Why are some high courts more powerful than others? By integrating strategic assumptions about the behavior of courts and other political actors and by employing a comparative, historical analysis of court policy-making and legislative responses to said policy-making, Ruggiero tests and refines concepts of court influence as OCyinterdependentOCO. She finds that the influence of high courts and their decisions are shaped both by OCyintrinsicOCO institutional features, as well as the OCyextrinsicOCO environment (political and federalist)."
