Using a comparative approach, it examines trajectories in truth, justice, reparations, and amnesties in countries emerging from periods of massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law. The book examines the cases of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, developing and applying a common analytical framework to provide a systematic, qualitative and comparative analysis of their transitional justice experiences. More specifically, the book investigates to what extent there has been a shift from impunity towards accountability for past human rights violations in Latin America. Using 'thick', but structured, narratives - which allow patterns to emerge, rather than being imposed - the book assesses how the quality, timing and sequencing of transitional justice mechanisms, along with the context in which they appear, have mattered for the nature and impact of transitional justice processes in the region. Offering a new approach to assessing transitional justice, and challenging many assumptions in the established literature, this book will be of enormous benefit to scholars and others working in this area. 410 0$aTransitional justice. 606 $aTransitional justice$zLatin America 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zLatin America 615 0$aTransitional justice 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of 676 $a340/.115 676 $a340.115098 701 $aCollins$b Cath$0896206 701 $aGarcia-Godos$b Jemima$0896207 701 $aSkaar$b Elin$0896208 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148739603321 996 $aTransitional justice in Latin America$92002014 997 $aUNINA
