The power of a court to render binding decisions on the constitutionality of legislation or other government action. 2. Austria and Weimar Germany did have constitutional review mechanisms for brief periods prior to World War II. Austria reestablished its constitu- tional court in 1945, and Germany’s was formed in 1949. The French Conseil Constitutionnel was created in 1958 under the Fifth Republic Constitution. Other West European states with established review mechanisms include Italy (1948), Portugal (1976), Spain (1978), and Belgium (1985). See Alec Stone Sweet, Governing with Judges: Constitutional Politics in Europe (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000). 3. Brazil and Colombia have constitutional courts, while there are also quite a few states like Costa Rica and more recently Mexico that have supreme courts with some judicial review powers. 4. Constitutional courts have been created in Armenia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Russia, and are in the process of being established in still others.

Bonnell and George Breslauer (eds.), Russia in the New Century: Stability or Disorder? (New York: Westview Press, 2001). 6. The only other book-length treatment of the constitutional court that focuses more on the judges and their interests than on the politicians who use the court.
