Lawfare is a polysemic term now widely used to signify deployments of the force of law for diverse ends, ends political and military, economic and social. With consummate erudition and a flair for the well-chosen example, Jaume Castan Pinos and Mark Friis Hau bring welcome conceptual clarity to the topic, providing a cogent model of the different species of legal means covered by the term. In so doing, they demonstrate that lawfare can yield ends that are sometimes lethal, sometimes laudable, sometimes lamentable, usually contentious. A very informative, important study of a phenomenon of growing significance across the world. John Comaroff, Professor of African and African American Studies and of Anthropology, Harvard University, USA
The book provides an excellent introduction to the concept and phenomenon of lawfare in its many facets. Using diverse examples from across the globe, it effectively illustrates how state and non-state actors - powerful and weak - engage in lawfare, strategically using rights and law to advance their political goals. Siri Gloppen, Professor of Comparative Politics, Bergen University, Norway
Lawfare is a controversial concept. Can the application of the Law be illegitimate or abusive? Jaume Castan and Mark Friis Hau have written a brief but comprehensive volume in which, with great clarity and insight, they examine the phenomenon of lawfare in all its complexity. A masterful analysis. Ignacio Sanchez-Cuenca, Professor of Political Science, Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain
