Theorizing Transitional Justice

This book addresses the theoretical underpinnings of the field of transitional justice and aims to clarify the theoretical profiles of transitional justice strategies. The study is organized along crucial intersections which evaluate aspects connected to the genealogy, nature, scope and most appropriate methodology for the study of transitional justice, whilst the specific transitional instruments of war crime tribunals, truth commissions, administrative purges, reparations and historical commissions are considered throughout. The book brings together some of the most original writings from established experts as well as from promising young scholars in the field.
