Understanding the Age of Transitional Justice

Bringing together some of the most notable voices in the field, this volume moves away from the often narrow focus of other treatments of transitional justice—situating and evaluating the effect of accountability mechanisms within a larger social, cultural, and political context. Ronald Slye, coauthor of International Criminal Law and Its Enforcement

This rich and interesting volume goes beyond the legal understanding of Transitional Justice in order to address the challenge of post-conflict societies. A valuable and important contribution to the current literature. Elazar Barkan, Columbia University
