African legal realities reflect an intertwining of transnational,
regional, and local normative frameworks, institutions, and
practices that challenge the idea of the sovereign territorial
state. This book analyses the novel constellations of governance
actors and conditions under which they interact and compete. The
work follows a spatial approach as the emphasis on normative spaces
opens avenues to better understand power relations, processes of
institutionalization, and the production of legitimacy and
normativities themselves. Selected case studies from thirteen
African countries deliver new empirical data and grounded insights
from, and into, particular normative spaces. The individual
chapters explore the interrelationships between various normative
orders, diverse actors, and their influences. The encounters
between different normative understandings and actors open up space
and multiple forums for negotiating values. The authors analyse how
different doctrines, institutions, and practices are constructed,
contested, negotiated, and adapted in translation processes and
thereby continuously reshape Africa's multidimensional normative
spaces. The volume delivers nuanced views of jurisprudence in
Africa and presents an excellent resource for scholars and students
of anthropology, legal geography, legal studies, sociology,
political sciences, international relations, African studies, and
anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of how legal
constellations are shaped by unreflected assumptions about the
state and the rule of law.
