Transitional Justice
How Emerging Democracies Reckon with Former Regimes
September 1995
Neil J. Kritz, Editor
How should an emerging democracy cope with the legacy
of an ousted repressive regime? How can a new society redress past
abuses without creating new injustices, while peacefully integrating
the victims and the perpetrators?
By bringing together the collective experience of
numerous countries and cultures over the past fifty years, this
three-volume compilation of readings provides an invaluable resource
for government officials, private organizations, scholars, and others
involved in the transitions of today and tomorrow.
