In The Costs of Justice, Brian K. Grodsky provides qualitative
analyses of how transitional justice processes have evolved in
diverse ways in postcommunist Poland, Croatia, Serbia, and
Uzbekistan, by examining the decision-making processes and goals of
those actors who contributed to key transitional justice policy
decisions. Grodsky draws on extensive interviews with key political
figures, human rights leaders, and representatives of various
international, state, and nongovernmental bodies, as well as
detailed analysis of international and local news reports, to offer
a systematic and qualitatively compelling account of transitional
justice from the perspective of activists who, at the end of a
previous regime, were suddenly transformed from downtrodden victim
to empowered judge. Grodsky challenges the argument that
transitional justice in post-repressive states is largely a
function of the relative power of new versus old elites. He
maintains that a new regime's transitional justice policy is
closely linked to its capacity to provide goods and services
expected by constituents, not to political power struggles. In
introducing this goods variable, so common to broad political
analysis but largely overlooked in the transitional justice debate,
Grodsky argues that we must revise our understanding of
transitional justice. It is not an exceptional issue; it is but one
of many political decisions faced by leaders in a transition state.
