Evidence Struggles: Legality, Legitimacy, And Social Mobilizations In The Catalan Political Conflict, Susana Narotzky
Evidence Struggles: Legality, Legitimacy, And Social Mobilizations In The Catalan Political Conflict, Susana Narotzky
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Different kinds of evidence are put forward to make an argument and justify political action by agents situated in diverse social, cultural, and power positions.
