Abstract
This article explores constitutional court (CC) resilience in a comparative perspective, across nine national jurisdictions and some transnational judiciaries, to help identify sources and approaches enhancing CC capacity to resist autocratization. It attempts to interpret the individual contributions to the special issue, pointing to a set of factors impacting CC resilience. Some articles highlight the essential role of structural conditions, while others rather emphasize the importance of institutional development and agency. The article then outlines avenues for further research of CC resilience, which should engage with new challenges, including renewing democracy through deliberation and trust-building.
