  • More about Lawfare: Waging War through Law


The book examines the criminal prosecution of former Brazilian President Lula and argues that lawfare is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that should be carefully reflected upon in modern constitutional democracies. It offers a sophisticated theoretical approach to lawfare, combining the theory of war and the theory of law.

This comprehensive book delves into one of the most notable instances of lawfare in contemporary times, specifically the criminal prosecution of former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The authors argue that lawfare is not merely a catchphrase or a tool used for the benefit of any particular political ideology but rather a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that demands careful contemplation in modern constitutional democracies. They contend that lawfare serves as a strategic deployment of the law aimed at delegitimizing, harming, or annihilating an adversary.

The literature on lawfare tends to either focus solely on one aspect of the phenomenon or consists of extensive case studies. To address this gap, this book revisits the topic and presents a sophisticated theoretical framework for lawfare, drawing upon the theories of war and law in an unprecedented combination.

The book will appeal to students, researchers, and policymakers engaged in the fields of public law, international law, procedural law, anthropology of law, sociology of law, political science, and international relations. Its insights will contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics and implications of lawfare in the modern world.
