For analyses of the transformative function with a focus on the Constitutional Court of South Africa, see Robertson 2010, pp 255–270 and Chap. 8 by Venter in this volume. See Stone Sweet 2004, pp 64–96 for an account of the constitutional impact of the European Court of Justice (and its dialogue with national courts), and compare Claes 2006, who develops a ‘bottom-up’ view in this regard centred on the perspective of national courts in the European Union.
