Scholars and practitioners alike agree that somehow the past needs
to be addressed in order to enable individuals and collectives to
rebuild trust and relationships. However, they also continue to
struggle with critical questions. When is the right moment to
address the legacies of the past after violent conflict? How can
societies address the past without deepening the pain that arises
from memories related to the violence and crimes committed in war?
How can cultures of remembrance be established that would include
and acknowledges the victims of all sides involved in violent
conflict? How can various actors deal constructively with different
interpretations of facts and history? Two decades after the wars,
societies in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia - albeit to different
degrees - are still facing the legacies of the wars of the 1990s on
a daily basis. Reconciliation between and within these societies
remains a formidable challenge, given that all three countries are
still facing unresolved disputes either at a cross-border level or
amongst parallel societies that persist at a local community level.
This book engages scholars and practitioners from the regions of
former Yugoslavia, as well as international experts, to reflect on
the achievements and obstacles that characterise efforts to deal
with the past. Drawing variously on empirical studies, theoretical
discussions, and practical experience, their contributions offer
invaluable insights into the complex relationship between
transitional justice and conflict transformation.
