This article offers a reflection on the growing role of litigation in the implementation and contestation of public policies. Drawing on multiple international cases, it highlights the conditions that encourage judicial strategies and the consequences of these processes for democratic institutions. The analysis contributes to the development of a comparative approach to the relationship between law and politics and opens new directions for studying contemporary forms of governance.
