Description

African legal realities reflect an intertwining of transnational, regional, and local normative frameworks, institutions, and practices that challenge the idea of the sovereign territorial state. This book analyses the novel constellations of governance actors and conditions under which they interact and compete. The work follows a spatial approach as the emphasis on normative spaces opens avenues to better understand power relations, processes of institutionalization, and the production of legitimacy and normativities themselves. Selected case studies from thirteen African countries deliver new empirical data and grounded insights from, and into, particular normative spaces. The individual chapters explore the interrelationships between various normative orders, diverse actors, and their influences. The encounters between different normative understandings and actors open up space and multiple forums for negotiating values. The authors analyse how different doctrines, institutions, and practices are constructed, contested, negotiated, and adapted in translation processes and thereby continuously reshape Africa’s multidimensional normative spaces. The volume delivers nuanced views of jurisprudence in Africa and presents an excellent resource for scholars and students of anthropology, legal geography, legal studies, sociology, political sciences, international relations, African studies, and anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of how legal constellations are shaped by unreflected assumptions about the state and the rule of law.

Author Biography:

Katrin Seidel is a research fellow in the Law and Anthropology Department of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany, a former post-doctoral fellow at Käte Hamburger Kolleg, Centre for Global Cooperation Research, and the Academic Coordinator of the ‘RSF Hub’ (Joint Network Rule of Law support) at Freie Universität Berlin, in collaboration with the German Federal Foreign Office. Based on her interdisciplinary background in law and African/Asian studies, her research is situated at the intersection of legal pluralism, heterogeneous statehood, and governance. Hatem Elliesie is a Max Planck Group Leader in the Law and Anthropology Department of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology as well as member of the Executive Committee of the African Law Association in Germany. He earned his PhD at the Freie University in Berlin, with a dissertation dealing with Ethiopia’s and Eritrea’s related legal history, and holds a Magister Legum Europae (MLE) degree from Malta University and the University of Hannover.
