This book addresses current developments in transitional justice in
Latin America - effectively the first region to undergo
concentrated transitional justice experiences in modern times.
Using a comparative approach, it examines trajectories in truth,
justice, reparations, and amnesties in countries emerging from
periods of massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
The book examines the cases of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Guatemala, El Salvador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, developing and
applying a common analytical framework to provide a systematic,
qualitative and comparative analysis of their transitional justice
experiences. More specifically, the book investigates to what
extent there has been a shift from impunity towards accountability
for past human rights violations in Latin America. Using 'thick',
but structured, narratives - which allow patterns to emerge, rather
than being imposed - the book assesses how the quality, timing and
sequencing of transitional justice mechanisms, along with the
context in which they appear, have mattered for the nature and
impact of transitional justice processes in the region. Offering a
new approach to assessing transitional justice, and challenging
many assumptions in the established literature, this book will be
of enormous benefit to scholars and others working in this area.
