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.
