The European Court of Human Rights in the post-Cold War era : universality in transition

The European Court of Human Rights in the Post-Cold War Era: Universality in Transition (288pp, 103,214 words) is the principal output from a multi-year taxonomy and analysis of European Court judgments engaging with the notion of ‘transitional justice’. The broad scope of the project was further widened by the methodological decision (reflected in the structure of the monograph) to contrast cases arising from explicitly ‘transitional justice’ policies (e.g. trials of the prior regime), with those where transitional issues arose more implicitly, in cases about restricting political rights to prevent communist resurgence (via judicial engagement with the notion of ‘self-defending’ democracy).
