How has Latin America pioneered the field of transitional justice
(TJ)? Do approaches vary across the region? This Element describes
Latin American innovations in trials and truth commissions, and
evaluates two influential models that explain variation in TJ
outcomes: the Huntingtonian and Justice Cascade approaches. It
argues that scholars should complement these approaches with one
that recognizes the importance of state capacity building and
institutional change. To translate domestic/international political
pressure and human rights norms into outcomes, states must develop
'TJ capabilities'. Not only should states be willing to pursue
these highly complex policies, they must also develop competent
bureaucracies.
