About the Book

After Violence: Transitional Justice, Peace, and Democracy examines the effects of transitional justice on the development of peace and democracy. Anticipated contributions of transitional justice mechanisms are commonly stated in universal terms, with little regard for historically specific contexts. Yet a truth commission, for example, will not have the same function in a society torn by long-term civil war or genocide as in a society emerging from authoritarian repression. Addressing trials, reparations, truth commissions, and amnesties, the book systematically addresses the experiences of four very different contemporary transitional justice cases: post-authoritarian Uruguay and Peru and post-conflict Rwanda and Angola. Its analysis demonstrates that context is a crucial determinant of the impact of transitional justice processes, and identifies specific contextual obstacles and limitations to these processes. The book will be of much interest to scholars in the fields of transitional justice and peacebuilding, as well as students generally concerned with human rights and democratisation.

Table of Contents:

Review :
"After Violence is a serious attempt to isolate the impact of transitional justice, written by experts possessing a profound sensitivity to historical context. I recommend it for all scholars who are truly grappling with the difficulty of assessing the contribution transitional justice has made in the world." - Geoffrey T. Dancy, Professor of Political Science, Tulane University "The volume is recommended to scholars interested in peacebuilding, human rights and democratisation because it presents comparative approach towards transitional justice, peace and democracy, quality depiction of the research field as well as worth verifying inventive explanatory frameworks." - Joanna Rak, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland
