Experimental evidence. 330 $aHow do transitional democracies deal with officials who have been tainted by complicity with prior governments? Should they be excluded or should they be incorporated into the new system? In Lustration and Transitional Justice, Roman David examines major institutional innovations that developed in Central Europe following the collapse of communist regimes. While the Czech Republic approved a lustration (vetting) law based on the traditional method of dismissals, Hungary and Poland devised alternative models that granted their tainted officials a second chance in exchange for truth. David classifies personnel systems as exclusive, inclusive, and reconciliatory; they are based on dismissal, exposure, and confession, respectively, and they represent three major classes of transitional justice.David argues that in addition to their immediate purposes, personnel systems carry symbolic meanings that help explain their origin and shape their effects. In their effort to purify public life, personnel systems send different ideological messages that affect trust in government and the social standing of former adversaries. Exclusive systems may establish trust at the expense of reconciliation, while inclusive and reconciliatory systems may promote both trust and reconciliation.In spite of its importance, the topic of inherited personnel has received only limited attention in research on transitional justice and democratization. Lustration and Transitional Justice is the first attempt to fill this gap. Combining insights from cultural sociology and political psychology with the analysis of original experiments, historical surveys, parliamentary debates, and interviews, the book shows how perceptions of tainted personnel affected the origin of lustration systems and how dismissal, exposure, and confession affected trust in government, reconciliation, and collective memory. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aPolitical purges$zCzech Republic 606 $aPolitical purges$zHungary 606 $aPolitical purges$zPoland 606 $aDemocratization$zCzech Republic 606 $aDemocratization$zHungary 606 $aDemocratization$zPoland 606 $aTransitional justice$zCzech Republic 606 $aTransitional justice$zHungary 606 $aTransitional justice$zPoland 607 $aCzech Republic$xPolitics and government$y1993- 607 $aHungary$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aPoland$xPolitics and government$y1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical purges 615 0$aPolitical purges 615 0$aPolitical purges 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aTransitional justice 615 0$aTransitional justice 615 0$aTransitional justice 676 $a320.9437 700 $aDavid$b Roman$01042828 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464103503321 996 $aLustration and transitional justice$92467351 997 $aUNINA
