Transitional justice

"Ruti G. Teitel explores the recurring dilemma of how regimes should respond to evil rule, arguing against the prevailing view favoring punishment, yet contending that the law nevertheless plays a profound role in periods of radical change. Taking a comparative and historical approach, she presents a compelling analysis of constitutional, legislative, and administrative responses to injustice following political upheaval. She proposes a new normative conception of justice - one that is highly politicized - offering glimmerings of the rule of law that, in her view, have become symbols of liberal transition."--Jacket
