More about the book

The book explores the concept of "lawfare," highlighting its role in the establishment of dictatorship in post-genocide Rwanda. Jens Meierhenrich examines how Paul Kagame's Tutsi-led government, from 1994 to 2019, strategically employed legal procedures to reinforce authoritarian control, effectively replacing military conflict with legal manipulation. This analysis sheds light on the intersection of law and politics in shaping Rwanda's contemporary governance.
