«'The authors explore African states' complex entanglements with a wide range of international and regional courts with theoretical sophistication and superb empirical depth. A must-read for anyone interested in the historical and political undercurrents that determine these modern phenomena.»
Phil Clark, School of Oriental and African Studies
«'The relationship between African states and international courts has long called for careful, compassionate, and comprehensive reflection. This book offers just that and is bound to be essential reading for those interested in "backlash" and global equality.»
Mark Kersten, University of Toronto
«This erudite and engaging book digs into the complexity of sovereignty to show how backlash against international justice is rooted in broader legitimation strategies African states engage.»
Kerstin Bree Carlson, University of Southern Denmark
«Africa and the Backlash against International Courts undoubtedly makes a significant contribution ... The book is highly recommended to scholars of African studies, international law, international relations, and international politics.»
The Yearbook on the African Union
«For the future, the findings in the book will also be of use for scholars researching on non-judicial human rights mechanisms. Besides scholars, there are valuable insights for practitioners in the fields of Political Science, Human rights and Law. It is a worthy addition to the expanding scholarship on international courts.»
