Using his field research in Sudan, the author uncovers how colonial administrators, postcolonial governments and international aid agencies have used legal tools and resources to promote stability and their own visions of the rule of law amid political violence and war in Sudan. Tracing the dramatic development of three forms of legal politics - colonial, authoritarian and humanitarian - this book contributes to a growing body of scholarship on law in authoritarian regimes and on human rights and legal empowerment programs in the Global South. Refuting the conventional wisdom of a legal vacuum in failed states, this book reveals how law matters deeply even in the most extreme cases of states still fighting for political stability. 410 0$aCambridge studies in law and society. 606 $aRule of law$zSudan$xHistory 606 $aLaw$xPolitical aspects$zSudan$xHistory 606 $aIslamic law$zSudan$xHistory 606 $aHuman rights$zSudan 606 $aAuthoritarianism$zSudan 607 $aSudan$xPolitics and government 615 0$aRule of law$xHistory. 615 0$aLaw$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aIslamic law$xHistory. 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aAuthoritarianism 676 $a349.624 686 $aLAW000000$2bisacsh 700 $aMassoud$b Mark Fathi$01635061 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817366203321 996 $aLaw's fragile state$93975629 997 $aUNINA
