How are popular legal-justice beliefs and practices transformed when legal reforms encounter local contexts and cultures? For over a decade, scholars have engaged with the argument that legal reform through rule of law building is the answer to the various ills of countries transitioning from war to peace or authoritarianism to democracy. Yet scholars have also repeatedly critiqued rule of law building projects: the rule of law, in theory and in practice, is a product of Western, liberal thought and development and provides limited space for local culture, norms, and practices. This tension has been playing out in multiple locations, and in the Democratic Republic of Congo for about two decades. This book examines how rule of law reforms in the Democratic Republic of Congo shape local understandings and practices of law and justice. Instead of focusing on their so-called successes and failures, it explores popular legal consciousness - how people think about, perceive, and engage with the law - in order to draw broader conclusions about the practical, everyday outcomes of attempts to build the rule of law. This book will appeal to comparativists, Africanists, and socio-legal scholars who study post-conflict reconstruction, rule of law building, legal consciousness, access to justice and legal pluralism, as well as those with practical interests in these areas"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Rule of law $z Kivu (Region) $z Kivu (Region) 650 0 $a Customary law $z Kivu (Region) $z Kivu (Region) 650 0 $a Law reform $z Kivu (Region) $z Kivu (Region) 650 0 $a Postwar reconstruction $z Kivu (Region) $z Kivu (Region) 650 7 $a Customary law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885510 650 7 $a Law reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994081 650 7 $a Postwar reconstruction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200084 650 7 $a Rule of law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101218 651 7 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $z Kivu (Region) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01872965 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dunn, Holly, 1985- $t Legal consciousness and the rule of law in post-conflict societies $d Abington, Oxon : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003289715 $w (DLC) 2022034315 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020745.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=047FF45EC48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
