The intercultural contexts and new configurations in Europe offer
fertile ground for social conflict, tensions and threat. This book
challenges predominant and fear inducing approaches of justice and
security as they appear in intercultural contexts, and develops
alternative understandings by exploring both theoretically and
empirically the potential of dialogic and restorative justice
oriented actions in sensitive areas of living together. The book
offers unique opportunities for rethinking frames of (in)justice,
(in)security, and their intersections, and for reshaping European
practices and policies in a more sustainable way. This book is
based on an innovative and exploratory action research project in
four European countries, which challenges the obsessive focus on
security concerns, the merging of the security discourse with
intercultural contexts, and the emphasis on technology and
surveillance as a way to conceive the doing of security. Both the
project and the book offer another vision on what security means
and how it can be done, by multiplying participatory encounters
between different groups in society, promoting opportunities for
deliberations and dialogue about alternative forms of conviviality.
The book is one of two volumes resulting from the work by a group
of researchers in six European countries having cooperated
intensively during four years in ALTERNATIVE, an action research
project funded under the EU Seventh Framework Programme.

This handbook explores the dynamic new field of Environmental
Restorative Justice. Authors from diverse disciplines discuss how
principles and practices of restorative justice can be used to
address the threats and harms facing the environment today. The
book covers a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical
discussions about how to incorporate the voice of future
generations, nature, and more-than-human animals and plants in
processes of justice and repair, through to detailed descriptions
of actual practices of Environmental Restorative Justice. The case
studies explored in the volume are situated in a wide range of
countries and in the context of varied forms of environmental harm
- from small local pollution incidents, to endemic ongoing issues
such as wildlife poaching, to cataclysmic environmental
catastrophes resulting in cascades of harm to entire ecosystems.
Throughout, it reveals how the relational and caring character of a
restorative ethos can be conducive to finding solutions to problems
through sharing stories, listening, healing, and holding people and
organisations accountable for prevention and repairing of harm. It
speaks to scholars in Criminology, Sociology, Law, and
Environmental Justice and to practitioners, policy-makers,
think-tanks and activists interested in the environment.
Theories and practices of justice do not meet the socio-political
challenges of our times. For those theorists attempting to develop
an alternative to the criminal justice system, restorative justice
has provided an alternative horizon. The restorative justice
approach involves meeting people, understanding and recognising
their vulnerability through participatory and deliberative forums
and practices. The aim of this collection is to bridge the distance
between restorative justice and the critical theory tradition. It,
on the one hand, takes into account the limits of restorative
justice as they have been articulated, or can be articulated
through critical social theory, and on the other hand emphasises
the ground-breaking potential that restorative justice can bring to
this tradition as a way to address crimes, conflicts and
injustices, and to pursue justice.
