This book examines the effects of transitional justice on the
conditions for peace and democracy. Ordinarily, the anticipated
contribution of transitional justice mechanisms is stated in
universal terms, with little regard for the historically specific
context. Yet a truth commission, for example, will not have the
same function in a society torn by long-term civil war or genocide
as in a society where conflict has taken the form of authoritarian
repression. Addressing trials, reparations and amnesties, as well
as truth commissions, the book systematically addresses the
experiences of four very different contemporary transitional
justice cases: post-authoritarian Uruguay and Peru and
post-conflict Rwanda and Angola. Its analysis, which not only
demonstrates that context is a crucial determinant of the impact of
transitional justice processes, but also identifies specific
contextual obstacles and limitations to these processes, will be of
considerable interest to scholars in the fields of transitional
justice and peace-building, as well as students generally concerned
with human rights and democratisation.
