LAW POLITICS AND THE LIMITS OF PROSECUTING MASS...

This book offers a unique and powerful critique of the quest for international criminal
justice. It explores the efforts of three successive generations of international prosecutors 
recognising the vital roles they play in the enforcement of international criminal law. By
critically examining prosecutorial performance during the pre-trial and trial phases  the
volume argues that these prosecutors are simultaneously political actors serving in the
interests of economic liberalisation. It also posits that international prosecutors help wage a
mostly silent and largely unacknowledged politico-cultural war fought for control over the
institutions governing modernist international affairs. As the author contends  international
prosecutors are thus best understood as agents not only of the law and politics  but also of a
war fought by proponents of various utopian projects.
