{"product_id":"the-violence-of-law-jens-meierhenrich-9781108425391","title":"The Violence of Law","description":"'Lawfare' describes the systematic use and abuse of legal procedure for political ends. This provocative book examines this insufficiently understood form of warfare in post-genocide Rwanda, where it contributed to the making of dictatorship. Jens Meierhenrich provides a redescription of Rwanda's daring experiment in transitional justice known as inkiko gacaca. By dissecting the temporally and structurally embedded mechanisms and processes by which change agents in post-genocide Rwanda manoeuvred to create modified legal arrangements of things past, Meierhenrich reveals an unexpected jurisprudence of violence. Combining nomothetic and ideographic reasoning, he shows that the deformation of the gacaca courts - and thus the rise of lawfare in post-genocide Rwanda - was not preordained but the outcome of a violently structured contingency. The Violence of Law tells a disturbing tale and will appeal to scholars, advanced students, and practitioners of international and comparative law, African studies and human rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jens Meierhenrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108425399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108425391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.63d","brand":"Jens Meierhenrich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825861972223,"sku":"9781108425391","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21704bd8-73ec-4ce2-9a70-8296423e9000.jpg?v=1746073854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-violence-of-law-jens-meierhenrich-9781108425391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
