Whether one thinks of the Middle East  South Africa  the Balkans  Latin America  or Cambodia  an extraordinary amount of knowledge has been gained and processes instituted through transitional justice. No longer a byproduct or afterthought  transitional justice is unquestionably the driver of political change.  In Globalizing Transitional Justice  Ruti G. Teitel provides a collection of her own essays that embody her evolving reflections on the practice and discourse of transitional justice since her book Transitional Justice published back in 2000. In this new book  Teitel focuses on the ways in which transitional justice concepts have found legal expression  especially through human rights law and jurisprudence  and international criminal law. These essays shed light on some of the difficult choices encountered in the design of transitional justice: criminal trials vs. amnesties  or truth commissions; domestic or international processes; peace and reconciliation vs. accountability and punishment. Transitional justice is considered not only in relation to political events and legal developments  but also in relation to the broader social and cultural tendencies of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789776085045,"sku":"ByrdShop_0190221372","price":44.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780190221379.jpg?v=1784697929","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/globalizing-transitional-justice-9780190221379","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
