Human Rights and the Judicialisation of African Politics shows
readers how central questions in African politics have entered
courtrooms over the last three decades, and provides the first
transnational explanation for this development. The book begins
with three conditions that have made judicialisation possible in
Africa as a whole; new corporate rights norms (including the
expansion of indigenous rights), the proliferation of new avenues
for legal proceedings, and the development of new support
structures enabling litigation. It then studies the effects of
these changes based on fieldwork in three Southern African
countries – Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana. Examining three
recent court cases involving international law, international
courts and transnational NGOs, it looks beyond some of
international relations’ established models to explain when and
why and legal rights can be clarified. This text will be of key
interest to scholars and students of African politics and human
rights, and more broadly to international relations and
international law and justice.
