Autorenporträt
Committed to excavating rule-of-law violations, Jothie Rajah analyses law in context. She is Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation. Discounting Life shows how war-on-terror legality relies on ostensibly non-legal productions - images, narrative, and affect - to legitimize state violence. Authoritarian Rule of Law (Cambridge University Press, 2012) shows how Singapore's narrative of national vulnerability combines with authoritarian politics to undermine rule-of-law ideals.
