Zusatztext Palmer's study presents a valuable diagnosis for multiple transitional justice initiatives that fail to aggregate their aims and reveals how some of the boundaries of transitional justice are sketched from the inside the courts themselves. This makes the book a must read both for practitioners engaged in international or transnational justice and cooperation, as well as for students who are interested in making more sense of transitional justice initiatives in post-conflict situations. Equally, it provides crucial guidance for further empirical studies.

Klappentext Courts in Conflict focuses on the practices of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the national Rwandan courts, and the gacaca community courts in post-genocide Rwanda. It emphasizes that, although the courts are compatible in law, an interpretive cultural analysis indicates how and why they have often conflicted in practice.
