Offering a comparative case study of transitional justice processes
in Afghanistan and Nepal, this book critically evaluates the way
the "local" is consulted in post-conflict efforts toward peace and
reconciliation. It argues that there is a tendency in transitional
justice efforts to contain the discussion of the "local" within
religious and cultural parameters, thus engaging only with a
"static local," as interpreted by certain local stakeholders. Based
on data collected through interviews and participant observation
carried out in the civil societies of the respective countries,
this book brings attention to a "dynamic local," where societal
norms evolve, and realities on the ground are shaped by shifting
power dynamics, local hierarchies, and inequalities between actors.
It suggests that the "local" must be understood as an
inter-subjective concept, the meaning of which is not only an
evolving and moving target, but also dependent on who is consulted
to interpret it to external actors. This timely book engages with
the divergent range of civil society voices and offers ways to move
forward by including their concerns in the efforts to help
impoverished war-torn societies transition from a state of war to
the conditions of peace.
