This book examines what makes accountability for previous
violations more or less possible for transitional regimes to
achieve. It closely examines the other vital goals of such regimes
against which accountability is often balanced. The options
available are not simply prosecution or pardon, as the most heated
polemics of the debate over transitional justice suggest, but a
range of options from complete amnesty through truth commissions
and lustration or purification to prosecutions. The question, then,
is not whether or not accountability can be achieved, but what
degree of accountability can be achieved by a given country. The
focus of the book is on the politics of transition: what makes
accountability more or less feasible and what strategies are
deployed by regimes to achieve greater accountability (or
alternatively, greater reform). The result is a more nuanced
understanding of the different conditions and possibilities that
countries face, and the lesson that there is no one-size-fits-all
prescription that can be handed to transitional regimes.
