Description
Book SynopsisThe transformation of conflict and post-conflict societies through transitional justice is now recognized as vital to the process of peace-building, with mechanisms such as trials, truth commissions, and apologies seen as essential for effecting societal change. This title deals with the definition of the concept of reconciliation itself.
Trade Review"Reconcilitation(s) is made up of very well documented inquiries involving original research. This is an excellent book." John Paul Lederach, Kroc Institute, University of Notre Dame "The clear strength of the book is the breadth of case studies which expose readers to a range of attempts to consider meaning and possibilities of reconciliation in some of the most intransigent situations in the world." Dr Charles Villa-Vicencio, former executive director, Institute for Justice and Reconciliation
