This volume explores the co-existence of state, customary, and religious legal forums from the perspective of legal practitioners and local justice seekers. It shows how the various stakeholders' use of negotiation, and their strategic application of law can lead to unwanted confusion, but also to sustainable conflict resolution, innovative new procedures and hybrid norms. The book thus generates important knowledge on the conditions necessary for stimulating a cooperative co-existence of different legal systems UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/41792/1/9783839450215.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/41792/1/9783839450215.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26299 ER -
