This volume considers the important and timely question of criminal
justice as a method of addressing state violence committed by
non-democratic regimes. The book's main objectives concern a fresh,
contemporary, and critical analysis of transitional criminal
justice as a concept and its related measures, beginning with the
initiatives that have been put in place with the fall of the
Communist regimes in Europe in 1989.The project argues for
rethinking and revisiting filters that scholars use to interpret
main issues of transitional criminal justice, such as: the
relationship between judicial accountability, democratisation and
politics in transitional societies; the role of successor trials in
rewriting history; the interaction between domestic and
international actors and specific initiatives in shaping
transitional justice; and the paradox of time in enhancing
accountability for human rights violations. In order to accomplish
this, the volume considers cases of domestic accountability in the
post-1989 era, from different geographical areas, such as Europe,
Asia and Africa, in relation to key events from various periods of
time. In this way the approach, which investigates space and
time-lines in key examples, also takes into account a longitudinal
study of transitional criminal justice itself.
