- Research for Human Rights and the Judicialisation of African Politics involved in-depth fieldwork in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. It drew on 30 interviews with lawyers, litigants, diplomats and NGO officials conducted over 18 months. Its theoretical chapters situated three particularly complex Southern African court cases (chapters 4-6) in a wide range of literatures. These intervened in debates in constructivist international relations and the history of human rights (introduction and chapter 1), explanations for the proliferation of international courts (chapter 2), the political sociology of the legal profession (chapter 3), and the status of law in liberalism (conclusion).��
