About the Book
"Human Rights and the Judicialisation of African Politics" explores a fascinating development in African politics: the increasing role of courts in shaping political decisions. Over the last three decades, major political issues have found their way into courtrooms, and this book provides the first transnational explanation for this phenomenon.
The book begins by identifying three key conditions that have enabled judicialisation in Africa:
-
The rise of corporate rights norms, including the expansion of indigenous rights.
-
The proliferation of new avenues for legal proceedings across the continent.
-
The development of support structures that empower litigation.
Through fieldwork in Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana, Peter Brett examines the effects of these developments, analyzing three high-profile court cases involving international law, international courts, and transnational NGOs. The book moves beyond established international relations models to explain how and when legal rights are clarified in the face of complex political issues.
Key Features:
-
Comprehensive Study of Judicialisation in Africa: Offers an in-depth look at the judicialisation process in Southern Africa.
-
Case Studies: Focuses on real-world cases in Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana, providing concrete examples of legal intervention in politics.
-
Multidisciplinary Approach: Combines political science, international relations, and international law to provide a holistic understanding of the phenomenon.
This book is essential for scholars and students of African politics, human rights, international relations, and international law. It also serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding how judicialisation influences political outcomes and the protection of rights in Africa.
