Localizing Transitional Justice - Interventions and Priorities After Mass Violence

Zusatztext "Full of innovative ideas and trenchant critiques, Localizing Transitional Justice offers smart recommendations for how we should approach and conceive of transitional justice today. Among its strengths are its distinction between post-repression and post-war transitional justice, its critique of equating the local with the traditional, and its incisive assessment of the 'toolkit' approach to transitional justice. This is a powerful new contribution to the study of human rights." Informationen zum Autor Rosalind Shaw is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Tufts University. Lars Waldorf is Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York (UK), and previously ran Human Rights Watch's field office in Rwanda. Pierre Hazan is Visiting Professor of Post-Conflict Justice at the Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
