Sommario/riassunto

"Ruti G. Teitel explores the recurring dilemma of how regimes should respond to evil rule, arguing against the prevailing view favoring punishment, yet contending that the law nevertheless plays a profound role in periods of radical change. Taking a comparative and historical approach, she presents a compelling analysis of constitutional,



legislative, and administrative responses to injustice following political upheaval. She proposes a new normative conception of justice - one that is highly politicized - offering glimmerings of the rule of law that, in her view, have become symbols of liberal transition."--Jacket.
