Reconceiving Civil Society and Transitional Justice examines the
role of civil society in transitional justice, exploring the forms
of civil society that are enabled or disabled by transitional
justice processes and the forms of transitional justice activity
that are enabled and disabled by civil society actors. Although
civil society organisations play an integral role in the pursuit of
transitional justice in conflict-affected societies, the literature
lacks a comprehensive conceptualisation of the diversity and
complexity of these roles. This reflects the degree to which
dominant approaches to transitional justice focus on liberal-legal
justice strategies and international human rights norms. In this
context, civil society organisations are perceived as
intermediaries who are thought to advocate for and support formal,
liberal transitional justice processes. The contributions to this
volume demonstrate that the reality is more complicated; civil
society can - and does - play important roles in enabling formal
transitional justice processes, but it can also disrupt them.
Informed by detailed fieldwork across Asia and the Pacific Islands,
the contributions demonstrate that neither transitional justice or
civil society should be treated as taken-for-granted concepts.
Demonstrating that neither transitional justice or civil society
should be treated as taken-for-granted concepts, Reconceiving Civil
Society and Transitional Justice will be of great interest to
scholars of Security Studies, Asian Studies, Peacebuilding, Asia
Pacific, Human Rights, Reconciliation and the Politics of Memory.
The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Global
Change, Peace & Security.
