Many countries have attempted to transition to democracy following
conflict or repression, but the basic meaning of transitional
justice remains hotly contested. In this book, Colleen Murphy
analyses transitional justice - showing how it is distinguished
from retributive, corrective, and distributive justice - and
outlines the ethical standards which societies attempting to
democratize should follow. She argues that transitional justice
involves the just pursuit of societal transformation. Such
transformation requires political reconciliation, which in turn has
a complex set of institutional and interpersonal requirements
including the rule of law. She shows how societal transformation is
also influenced by the moral claims of victims and the demands of
perpetrators, and how justice processes can fail to be just by
failing to foster this transformation or by not treating victims
and perpetrators fairly. Her book will be accessible and
enlightening for philosophers, political and social scientists,
policy analysts, and legal and human rights scholars and activists.
