Undue Process

Persecution and Punishment in Autocratic Courts

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why do autocrats hold political trials when outcomes are presumed known from the start? Focusing on sub-Saharan Africa since independence, this book provides insight into the role of judiciaries in authoritarian regimes: how courts can be used to repress political challengers, institutionalize punishment, and undermine the rule of law.
