Who Rules the Law? How Government, Civil Society, and Aid Agencies Manipulate Law in Sudan
Sudan has been ranked the number one failed state in the world. Massoud
explores how, even in such an unstable context, government officials,
civil society activists, and the international aid community all use law
to construct and maintain their influence over society. His dissertation
shows how law serves the cause of liberty as much as it also serves the
cause of tyranny.
