Critical Acclaim
‘Lawther and Moffett’s volume comprehensively captures the field of transitional justice at a critical moment, when many are questioning its applicability to current post-conflict challenges around the world. By focusing on the major concepts, actors and mechanisms of transitional justice, this collection traces the field's evolution over the last 30 years and where it is likely to go from here. This is an indispensable resource for anyone trying to get to grips with this vast and constantly changing arena of scholarship and practice.’
