Since the end of the Cold War, the concept of reconciliation has
emerged as a central term of political discourse within societies
divided by a history of political violence. Reconciliation has been
promoted as a way of reckoning with the legacy of past wrongs while
opening the way for community in the future.
This book examines the issues of transitional justice in the
context of contemporary debates in political theory concerning the
nature of 'the political'. Bringing together research on
transitional justice and political theory, the author argues that
if we are to talk of reconciliation in politics we need to think
about it in a fundamentally different way than is commonly
presupposed; as agonistic rather than restorative.
