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.

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 promoting the rule of law.
