This book examines approaches to reconciliation and peacebuilding
in settler colonial, post-conflict, and divided societies. In
contrast to current literature, this book provides a broader
assessment of reconciliation and conflict transformation by
applying a distinctive 'multi-level' approach. The analysis
provides a unique intervention in the field, one that significantly
complicates received notions of reconciliation and transitional
justice, and considers conflict transformation across the
constitutional, institutional, and relational levels of society.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork in South Africa, Northern Ireland,
Australia, and Guatemala, the work presents an interdisciplinary
study of the complex political challenges facing societies
attempting to transition either from violence and authoritarianism
to peace and democracy, or from colonialism to post-colonialism.
Informed by theories of agonistic democracy, the book conceives of
reconciliation as a process that is deeply political, and that
prioritises the capacity to retain and develop democratic political
contest in societies that have, in other ways, been able to resolve
their conflicts. The cases considered suggest that reconciliation
is most likely an open-ended process rather than a goal - a process
that requires divided societies to pay ongoing attention to
reconciliatory efforts at all levels, long after the eyes of the
world have moved on from countries where the work of reconciliation
is thought to be finished. This book will be of great interest to
students of reconciliation, conflict transformation, peacebuilding,
transitional justice and IR in general.
