New Critical Spaces in Transitional Justice

<p>Since the 1980s transitional justice mechanisms have been increasingly applied to account for mass atrocities and grave human rights violations throughout the world. Over time post-conflict justice practices have expanded across continents and state borders and have fueled the creation of new ideas that go beyond traditional notions of amnesty retribution and reconciliation. Gathering work from contributors in international law political science sociology and history <i>New Critical Spaces in Transitional Justice</i> addresses issues of space and time in transitional justice studies. It explains new trends in responses to post-conflict and post-authoritarian nations and offers original empirical research to help define the field for the future.</p>
