Transitional Justice and Civil Society in the Balkans covers civil
society engagements with transitional justice processes in the
Balkans. The Balkans are a region marked by the post-communist and
post-conflict transitional turmoil through which its countries are
going through. This volume is intended to provide a comprehensive
introduction to research in transitional justice in this part of
the world, mostly written by local scholars. Transitional justice
is ever-growing field which responds to dilemmas over how successor
regimes should deal with past human rights abuses of their
authoritarian predecessors. The editors and author emphasize the
relatively unexplored and under-researched role of civil society
groups and social movements, such as local women's groups, the role
of art and community media and other grass-roots transitional
justice mechanisms and initiatives. Through specific case-studies,
the unique contribution of this volume is not only that it covers a
part of the world that is not adequately represented in
transitional justice field, but also that the volume is the first
project originally researched and written by experts and scholars
from the region or in collaboration with international scholars.
