Indeed, more and more popular political leaders in the region end up imprisoned or persecuted, even while in power. Inacio Lula da Silva, former President of Brazil and author of the preface, is the quintaessential case of this worrying process. Despite the centrality of this juridical-political phenomenon in Latin America, it is hardly known to the Anglo-Saxon public. This book seeks to fill this gap. In an accessible style, the authors deconstruct the judicial language and the main problematics of lawfare, calling attention to the fact that it might end up demolishing the rule of law for the sake of fostering the most cruel forms of neoliberalism. 505 0 $a Introduction to the English version / Valeria Vegh Weis -- The destruction of Criminal Law / Eugenio Raul Zaffaroni -- The destruction of law of criminal procedure / Cristina Caamano -- The destruction of criminology / Valeria Vegh Weis -- Some exemplary lawfare cases / Cristina Caamano, Eugenio Raul Zaffaroni and Valeria Vegh Weis -- First Afterword / Eli Gomez Alcorta -- Second Afterword / Atilio Boron. 650 0 $a Law $x Political aspects $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Lawfare $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Political persecution $z Latin America. 650 6 $a Droit $x Aspect politique $z Amerique latine. 650 6 $a Guerre juridique $z Amerique latine. 650 6 $a Repression politique $z Amerique latine. 650 7 $a Law $x Political aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Political persecution $2 fast 651 7 $a South America $2 fast 700 1 $a Zaffaroni, Eugenio Raul, $e editor. 700 1 $a Caamano, Cristina, $d 1958- $e editor. 700 1 $a Vegh Weis, Valeria, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Lawfare : the criminalization of democratic politics in the global South $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2023] $z 9789004535152 $w (DLC) 2023004198 830 0 $a Studies in critical social sciences ; $v v. 244. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FCAE35A2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
