Description
Book SynopsisIn this book, Thomas McMahon details the framework for the concept of ''transforming justice'' and illustrates its unique relevance stemming from its ability to integrate the abstract concepts of rights, power, and justice. The focal concept is exemplified through the examination of eight twentieth century leaders, whose profiles illustrate their enactment of transforming justice in various forms.
