🔍 This study adresses Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court, revealing how judicial impostoring undermines federalism through "judicial entrenchment". It critically examines the court's role in erasing alternative constitutional knowledge.

📢 Excited to share this publication from one of our SG F&R group's member: Samer Alnasir! Dive into the intersection of law, legitimacy, and epistemic violence in postcolonial contexts.
