Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This collection seeks to offer something quite different to the mainstream of scholarship in the area of transitional justice, emphasizing the need for bespoke solutions to different transitions rather than "off the shelf" models. The collection is designed to offer a space for diversity, prompted by a series of perspectives 'from below' of societies beset by past violent conflict which have sought to effect their transition to justice. In doing so the contributors have also sought to enrich discussion about the role of human rights in transition, the continuing usefulness of perspectives from above, and the still contested meanings of 'transition'."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |
