Identity, Reconciliation and Transitional Justice: Overcoming
Intractability analyses how the mechanisms of transitional justice
have a part to play in promoting reconciliation and sustainable
peace in transitional societies: helping social groups deeply
divided by past violence to overcome existing antagonisms and to
build more positive relationships with one another. Whilst there is
an emerging consensus that a causal link does exist between
transitional justice, reconciliation, and sustainable peace, to
date the actual processes underlying this relationship have been
left undertheorized and largely unspecified. This theoretical gap
is attributable, at least in part, to the very limited dialogue
between transitional justice scholars and the growing number of
conflict transformation theorists from the related disciplines of
political science, conflict resolution, and social psychology. In
particular, recent conflict transformation work highlights the
central role that group or 'collective' identities play in the
commission and perpetuation of ethnonational violence, and suggests
the need to transform these identities and their antagonistic
relationships in order to advance societal reconciliation and
sustainable peace. Drawing upon an interdisciplinary synthesis of
transitional justice and conflict transformation literatures, and
addressing the different interventions adopted in the deeply
divided societies of South Africa and Northern Ireland, this book
outlines an innovative framework that traces the complex linkages
between identity, transitional justice, and intergroup
reconciliation in deeply divided post-conflict environments. It
will be of considerable interest to those working in the area of
transitional justice.
