Bücher der Reihe Europa Perspectives in Transitional Justice

"By investigating Sri Lanka as a case study, this book examines whether democracy, compared to authoritarianism, is conducive to post-war reconciliation"--

This book bridges two different research fields and the current debates within them: calls to make the doctrine and practice of justice more transformative, and studies that look closely at meaningful silences to make sense of what nations leave out when they remember their pasts.

This book examines the hypothesis that transitional justice interventions that strive to address historical injustices perpetrated by violence, conflict and entrenched by socio-political impunity, can initiate preventive measures against electoral violence through redress, accountability and institutional reforms.
