Law has become the vehicle by which countries in the 'developing
world', including post-conflict states or states undergoing
constitutional transformation, must steer the course of social and
economic, legal and political change. Legal mechanisms, in
particular, the instruments as well as concepts of human rights,
play an increasingly central role in the discourses and practices
of both development and transitional justice. These developments
can be seen as part of a tendency towards convergence within the
wider set of discourses and practices in global governance. While
this process of convergence of formerly distinct normative and
conceptual fields of theory and practice has been both celebrated
and critiqued at the level of theory, the present collection
provides, through a series of studies drawn from a variety of
contexts in which human rights advocacy and transitional justice
initiatives are colliding with development projects, programmes and
objectives, a more nuanced and critical account of contemporary
developments. The book includes essays by many of the leading
experts writing at the intersection of development, rights and
transitional justice studies. Notwithstanding the theoretical and
practical challenges presented by the complex interaction of these
fields, the premise of the book is that it is only through
engagement and dialogue among hitherto distinct fields of
scholarship and practice that a better understanding of the
institutional and normative issues arising in contemporary law and
development and transitional justice contexts will be possible. The
book is designed for research and teaching at both undergraduate
and graduate levels.
