The project maps the connectivities of legal developments in colonial Africa across the local, regional and international level by identifying normative exchanges. The project includes a number of case studies that focus on concessions regimes and land rights, political crimes, and gender and labour. Together, these case studies will allow us to trace norm-making from its inception until its application, allowing space for the identification of legal pluralism, debates between official and non-official norm-setters, and failed initiatives.
