Domination Through Law: The Internationalization of Legal Norms in Postcolonial

Description: Domination Through Law by Mohamed Sesay Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Through a comparative study of state reconstruction in Sierra Leone and Liberia, this book critically examines the impact of rule of law internationalization as a means of social domination in post-colonial Africa. Publisher Description The positive effects of rule of law norms and institutions are often assumed in the fields of global governance and international development, with empirical work focusing more on the challenges of using law to engineer social change abroad. Questioning this assumption, the book contends that purportedly "good" rule of law standards do not always deliver benign benefits but rather often have negative consequences that harm the very local constituents which rule of law promoters promise to help. In particular, the book argues that rule of law promotion in post-colonial societies reinforces socioeconomic and political inequality which disproportionately favors dominant actors who have the wealth, education, and influence to navigate the state legal system. In addition to an historical account of legal development in colonial-settler environments, this argument is also drawn from a comparative study which focuses on the UK-supported justice sector development programs in Sierra Leone and the US-funded rule of law projects in Liberia.The book argues that rule of law promotion in post-colonial societies reinforces socioeconomic and political inequality which disproportionately favors dominant actors who have the wealth, education, and influence to navigate the state legal system.
