Clarifying the Past provides a comprehensive analysis of
state-sponsored historical commissions operating in conflicted and
divided societies, developing a theoretical and methodological
framework within the historical dialogue paradigm, key to
understanding the work of such commissions. The theoretical and
methodological framework is complemented with an extensive
empirical analysis of 27 historical commissions that operated in
different social and political contexts from 1990s to the present.
The detailed examination of these cases gives a broad perspective
into the potential capacities of historical commissions in
different settings. Although only sampling the most recent cases,
this volume shows how the steady increase of the number of
historical commissions indicates that we are not dealing with a
marginal phenomenon. The increased recognition of the potential of
historical commissions to address the legacies of contested pasts
and potential introduction of such commissions to transitional
justice, makes this book highly relevant. This book has been
written with the objective of deepening and broadening the existing
knowledge on state-sponsored historical commissions. Its intended
audiences are scholars and practitioners in the fields of
historical theory, public history, and historical dialogue,
transitional justice, peace and conflict studies.
