This book examines one of the most emblematic cases of lawfare
today: the criminal prosecution of former Brazilian President Lula.
The authors argue that lawfare is not just a slogan or a game at
the service of any one political ideology. Rather, it has to do
with a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that should be carefully
reflected upon in modern constitutional democracies, given that it
is able to demolish majority rule and the rule of law. They contend
it is the strategic use of the law with the purpose of
delegitimizing, harming or annihilating an enemy. The literature
specializing in the subject tends to alternate between analysis of
only one aspect of the phenomenon or consists of extensive case
studies. In order to fill this gap, this book revisits the subject
and offers a sophisticated theoretical approach to lawfare, in an
unprecedented combination of theory of war and theory of law. The
book will be of interest to students, researchers and policy makers
working in the areas of public law, international law, procedural
law, anthropology of law and sociology of law, as well as political
science and international relations.
