Transitional Justice and Rule of Law Reconstruction: A Contentious Relationship

This book emerged from my doctoral thesis completed in 2009 and was the product of four years of research. It is the first monograph ever to focus on the inter-relationship between transitional justice and rule of law reconstruction in post-conflict states. It provides a provocative reassessment of the various tangled relationships between the two fields, exploring the blind-spots, contradictions and opportunities for synergies between them that the existing literature has ignored or downplayed. The analytical framework and inter-disciplinary approach adopted incorporated wide-ranging study beyond the legal discipline, drawing extensively on research in the fields of peacebuilding, anthropology and politics.
