All over the world the practice of peacebuilding is beset with
common dilemmas: peace versus justice, religious versus secular
approaches, individual versus structural justice, reconciliation
versus retribution, and the harmonization of the sheer multiplicity
of practices involved in repairing past harms. Progress towards the
resolution of these dilemmas requires far more than reforming
institutions and practices but rather clear thinking about the more
basic questions: What is justice? And how is it related to the
building of peace? The twin concepts of reconciliation and
restorative justice, both involving the holistic restoration of
right relationship, contain not only a compelling logic of justice
but also great promise for resolving peacebuilding's tensions and
for constructing and assessing its institutions and practices. This
volume furthers this potential by developing not only the core
content of these concepts but also their implications for
accountability, forgiveness, reparations, traditional practices,
human rights, and international law. While the volume's central
orientation is theory, it contains much of interest to a wide range
of scholars as well as practitioners. It is both interdisciplinary
and accessibly written. It situates its analysis in countries as
diverse as South Africa, El Salvador, Canada, and East Timor and in
the work of institutions and communities such as the United
Nations, the Catholic Church, various indigenous communities, and
the international law community. It contains essays by leading
scholars of restorative justice, international law, transitional
justice, political philosophy and theology.
