Transitional Justice

This section encourages to examine the impact of the processes of transitional justice (TJ) measures. Papers should address the research gaps between case studies and systematical research to measure and analyse the impact of TJ measures. Its participants aim at developing those insights further by gaining a more systematic knowledge of TJ processes. These processes can be all together analysed from a juridical, political, historical or moral perspective. Paper proposals should approach the issue from a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach beyond single country studies and descriptive case studies – i.e. theoretically-informed analyses – in order to learn more about the inter-linkage of diverse mechanisms and conditions under which transitional justice and reconciliation after mass atrocity can be achieved, democratic institution building enhanced or otherwise societal transformation achieved. Comparative and theoretically informed case studies that combine theoretical interest with the generation of systematic knowledge through a comparison are highly appreciated.
