STRATEGIA DEL PROCESSO POLITICO | 1969 | JACQUES M. VERGES

Strategia del processo politico is a compelling work of political science by Jacques M. Vergès, published in 1969 by Einaudi. Over 116 pages, Vergès examines historical political trials—from the Dreyfus affair to the Moscow show trials—highlighting how the executive power invariably intervenes to influence or control the judicial system, especially when public order or regime stability is challenged. He probes how defenses deploy techniques that confront the legitimacy of the court and authority, crafting a "revolutionary technique" that remains valid even when the foundations of the established order are questioned. Vergès illuminates the dynamics of exceptional jurisdictions and the intersection of law, rhetoric, and politics in the courtroom.
