The Violence of Law: The Formation and Deformation of Gacaca Courts in Rwanda
Meierhenrich, Jens (London School of Economics and Political Science)
'Lawfare' describes the systematic use and abuse of legal procedure for political ends which, in post-genocide Rwanda, contributed to the making of dictatorship. Jens Meierhenrich explains how and why Paul Kagame's Tutsi-led government in the period 1994-2019 learned to substitute law for war in its consolidation of authoritarian rule.
