Edited by Morten Bergsmo, Mark Klamberg, Kjersti Lohne and Christopher B. Mahony, this book comprehensively explores the role and manifestations of power in international criminal justice. Twenty chapters discuss this topic in four main parts: power in international criminal justice institutions (Part I), representational power in international criminal justice (Part II), state power and autonomy in international criminal justice (Part III), and non-state power and external agents in international criminal justice (Part IV). The book invites the crystallisation of a sociology of international criminal justice, and argues that among its focuses should be the wielding of power within and over international criminal justice institutions, just as this is a feature of sociology of law within several countries.
