Numerous studies concerning transitional justice exist. However,
comparatively speaking, the effects actually achieved by measures
for coming to terms with dictatorships have seldom been
investigated. There is an even greater lack of transnational
analyses. This volume contributes to closing this gap in research.
To this end, it analyses processes of coming to terms with the past
in seven countries with different experiences of violence and
dictatorship. Experts have drawn up detailed studies on
transitional justice in Albania, Argentina, Ethiopia, Chile,
Rwanda, South Africa and Uruguay. Their analyses constitute the
empirical material for a comparative study of the impact of
measures introduced within the context of transitional justice. It
becomes clear that there is no sure formula for dealing with
dictatorships. Successes and deficits alike can be observed in
relation to the individual instruments of transitional justice -
from criminal prosecution to victim compensation. Nevertheless, the
South American states perform much better than those on the African
continent. This depends less on the instruments used than on
political and social factors. Consequently, strategies of
transitional justice should focus more closely on these contextual
factors.
