{"product_id":"transitional-justice-9780195100648","title":"Transitional Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the centurys end  societies all over the world are throwing off the yoke of authoritarian rule and beginning to build democracies. At any such time of radical change  the question arises: should a society punish its ancien regime or let bygones be bygones? Transitional Justice takes this question to a new level with an interdisciplinary approach that challenges the very terms of the contemporary debate.  Ruti Teitel explores the recurring dilemma of how regimes should respond to evil rule  arguing against the prevailing view favoring punishment  yet contending that the law nevertheless plays a profound role in periods of radical change. Pursuing a comparative and historical approach  she presents a compelling analysis of constitutional  legislative  and administrative responses to injustice following political upheaval. She proposes a new normative conception of justice--one that is highly politicized--offering glimmerings of the rule of law that  in her view  have become symbols of liberal transition.  Its challenge to the prevailing assumptions about transitional periods makes this timely and provocative book essential reading for policymakers and scholars of revolution and new democracies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789776576565,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195100646","price":53.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195100648.jpg?v=1784697966","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/transitional-justice-9780195100648","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
