State-Building as Lawfare: Custom, Sharia, and State Law in Postwar Chechnya: Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics

Autor Egor Lazarev
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2023
"State-Building as Lawfare offers a unique study on how the state and other social forces regulate everyday life. Focusing on the case of Russian state presence in postwar Chechnya, the book explores how state and non-state legal systems are used to achieve political goals. Egor Lazarev applies this theory of state-building as lawfare to study how politicians and individuals navigate Russian state law, Sharia, and customary law in postwar Chechnya. The book addresses two interrelated puzzles: why do local rulers tolerate and even promote non-state legal systems at the expense of state law, and why do some members of repressed ethnic minorities choose to resolve their everyday disputes using state legal systems instead of non-state alternatives? By analyzing the legacies of the prolonged armed conflict of the 1990s and 2000s, Lazarev sheds an important light on state-building from above and below"--

Recenzii

'This is a fascinating, deeply researched, and creative study of legal pluralism in Chechnya. Based on months of ethnographic field work, scores of interviews and informal conversations, and analysis of original surveys, State-Building as Lawfare contributes to our understanding of post-conflict dynamics and the impact of warfare on state and society, and, especially, on gender.' Matthew Evangelista, Cornell University
'A marvel of comparative politics scholarship. Blending surveys, courtroom observations, and interviews, Lazarev shows us how officials manipulate state and non-state legal systems and how ordinary people make choices that shape state sovereignty.' Mark Fathi Massoud, UC Santa Cruz and author of Shari'a, Inshallah
'State Building as Lawfare is a tour de force. Contra the conventional wisdom, Lazarev highlights how government officials and members of the population both engage in “forum shopping” between state and non-state justice institutions to advance their interests, resulting in a bottom-up process of state-building that is deeply gendered. Based on exceptional multi-methods fieldwork in Chechnya, a challenging site for rigorous research, Lazarev combines extensive interviews and observations with original surveys and administrative data.' Melani Cammett, Harvard University
