Yet there is still much that we do not understand about them. Why do governments use trials to pursue political objectives, and when? What differentiates political trials from ordinary ones? Contrary to conventional wisdom, not all political trials are show trials or contrive to set up scapegoats. This volume offers a novel account of political trials that is empirically rigorous and theoretically sophisticated, linking state-of-the-art research on telling cases to a broad argument about political trials as a socio-legal phenomenon. All the contributors analyse the logic of the political in the courtroom. From archival research to participant observation, and from linguistic anthropology to game theory, the volume offers a genuinely interdisciplinary set of approaches that substantially advance existing knowledge about what political trials are, how they work, and why they matter. 606 $aTrials (Political crimes and offenses) 615 0$aTrials (Political crimes and offenses) 676 $a345/.0231 686 $aPOL000000$2bisacsh 702 $aMeierhenrich$b Jens 702 $aPendas$b Devin O$g(Devin Owen), 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163908903321 996 $aPolitical trials in theory and history$92584448 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01405nam a2200349 i 4500 001 991001476389707536 005 20020507194145.0 008 990304s1997 de ||| | eng 020 $a3540624015 035 $ab10852694-39ule_inst 035 $aLE01312832$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Matematica$beng 082 0 $a516.35 084 $aAMS 14-06 100 1 $aKumar, Shrawan$067002 245 10$aVector bundles on curves-new directions :$blectures given at the 3rd session of the Centro internazionale matematico estivo (C.I.M.E.) held in Cetraro (Cosenza), Italy, June 19-27, 1995 /$cS.
