As developing societies emerge from legacies of conflict and
authoritarianism, they are frequently beset by poverty, inequality,
weak institutions, broken infrastructure, poor governance,
insecurity, and low levels of social capital. These countries also
tend to propagate massive human rights violations, which displace
victims who are marginalized, handicapped, widowed, and
orphaned--in other words, people with strong claims to justice.
Those who work with others to address development and justice
often fail to supply a coherent response to these concerns. The
essays in this volume confront the intricacies--and
interconnectedness--of transitional governance issues head on,
mapping the relationship between two fields that, academically and
in practice, have grown largely in isolation of one another. The
result of a research project conducted by the International Center
for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), this book explains how justice and
recovery can be aligned not only in theory but also in practice,
among both people and governments as they reform.
