How do a legal order and the rule of law develop in a war-torn
state? Using his field research in Sudan, the author uncovers how
colonial administrators, postcolonial governments and international
aid agencies have used legal tools and resources to promote
stability and their own visions of the rule of law amid political
violence and war in Sudan. Tracing the dramatic development of
three forms of legal politics - colonial, authoritarian and
humanitarian - this book contributes to a growing body of
scholarship on law in authoritarian regimes and on human rights and
legal empowerment programs in the Global South. Refuting the
conventional wisdom of a legal vacuum in failed states, this book
reveals how law matters deeply even in the most extreme cases of
states still fighting for political stability.
