Globalizing Transitional Justice

Since the Cold War ended, countries moving away from authoritarian governance have increasingly turned to a growing range of tools for dealing with wrongs committed under the old regime. These efforts aim to hold people accountable for past conflicts and abuses while building democratic systems grounded in human rights and constitutional law.

This volume gathers essays by Ruti G. Teitel that trace how her thinking on this field has changed since she published her earlier book, Transitional Justice, in 2000. Together they reflect on both the practice of transitional justice and the debates surrounding it.
