THE POLITICS OF PRINCIPLE Underitsﬁrstchiefjustice,ArthurChaskalson,theSouthAfricanConsti- tutional Court built an unrivalled reputation in the comparative constitutional law community for technically accomplished and morally enlightened decision-making. At the same time, the Court proved remarkably effective in asserting its institutional role in post-apartheid politics.

Drawing on and synthesising various insightsfromjudicialpoliticsandlegaltheory,thisstudyoffersaninter- disciplinaryexplanationfortheChaskalsonCourt’sachievement.Rather than a purely political strategy of the kind modelled by rational choice theorists, the study argues, the Court’s achievement is attributable to a seriesofadjudicativestrategiesindifferentareasoflaw.Incombination, thesestrategiesallowedtheCourttosatisfyinstitutionalnormsofpublic reason-givingwhileatthesametimeavoidingpoliticalattack. theunis roux is Professor of Law at the University of New South Wales,Sydney,Australia.HeisaformerSecretary-GeneraloftheInter- national Association of Constitutional Law (IACL) and the Founding Director of the South African Institute for Advanced Constitutional, Public,HumanRightsandInternationalLaw(SAIFAC). cambridge studies in constitutional law Theaimofthisseriesistoproduceleadingmonographsinconstitutional law.Allareasofconstitutionallawandpubliclawfallwithintheambitof theseries,includinghumanrightsandcivillibertieslaw,administrative law,aswellasconstitutionaltheoryandthehistoryofconstitutionallaw.
