Inacio Lula da Silva is the quintaessential case of this worrying process. Despite the centrality of this juridical-political phenomenon in Latin America, it is little known to the Anglo-Saxon public. This book aims to fill this gap. In an accessible style, the authors deconstruct the legal language and the main problematics of lawfare, drawing attention to the fact that it may end up destroying the rule of law in order to promote the most cruel forms of neoliberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing a foreword by Lula da Silva.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEugenio Ra?l Zaffaroni\u003c\/strong\u003e is Secretary General of the Latin American Association of Criminology and Criminal Law, and Vice President of the International Association of Criminal Law.
