Roads To Reconciliation

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Elin Skaar; Siri Gloppen and Astri Suhrke - Contributions by Howard Adelman; Tone Bringa; Craig Etcheson; Alcinda Honwana; Vasuki Nesiah; Mohamed Othman; Filip Reyntjens; William Schabas; Daphna Shraga; Dionisio Babo Soares; Stef Vandeginste and Klappentext The past two decades have witnessed the end of several civil wars and authoritarian regimes. The global media brings the height of the conflicts to an international audience, but as the wars end and tensions resolve the media turns away, neglecting the often painful and slow process of reconciliation. In this volume, experts with both practical and policy experience in international conflict explore how societies confront and negotiate a repressive past characterized by gross human-rights violations. Grounding readers in theoretical approaches, the book explores contemporary experiences of reconciliation in Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
