Why read it?
1 author picked Customary Justice and the Rule of Law in War-Torn Societies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book helped spark my own interest in the relationship between legal pluralism and the rule of law. Despite decades of transnational legal support for the rule of law, scholars and practitioners alike have overwhelmingly focused on state courts. Isser’s edited volume is an early and enduring corrective to that trend.
This highly accessible book offers an invaluable primer for understanding a wide range of customary legal systems, how external actors have approached these authorities, and how non-state justice can influence the development of the rule of law.
From Geoffrey's list on The best books on promoting the rule of law.
