Introducing Justicecraft
Scholarship has often compartmentalised issues associated with injustice, political violence, and past wrongdoings. To contextualise questions of political change and justice across time and space, we introduce a dynamic, layered and transversal understanding of these processes. Drawing on Inés Valdez’s notion of “justice as a political craft,” we explore situated struggles for change and justice. Coping with injustice is contingent on context-sp…
Breaking the Transitional Justice Machine
This article offers a critical perspective on emerging and alternative spaces for emancipation within transitional justice studies. Taking into account recent critical literature and postcolonial interventions in transitional justice studies, we argue that barriers to moving our understanding of transitional justice forward are both conceptual and methodological. Conceptual hurdles are visible through narrow justice demands often limited to the c…
The Ministerialization of Transitional Justice
Non-Western Encounters with Democratization
The state has a right to exist - the International Court of Justice saw this as a core principle of international law in its Nuclear Weapons advisory opinion, a norm that constitutes the basis of the international legal right to self-defence. This is not to say that a government has a right to exist. Rather the right of a government to exist derives from the principle of the self-determination of peoples (Zwitter 2012a). Accordingly, peoples have…
Contested Governance
This contribution reflects upon the nexus between transitional justice and peacebuilding through a study of how transitional justice practices in post-Qadhafi Libya interacted with broader efforts to establish governance institutions in the aftermath of Libya’s 2011 armed conflict. It argues that dominant practices of transitional justice, promoted by external actors, prescribed narrow state-centric justice interventions that were ill-suited for …
Non-Western Encounters with Democratization
Contested spaces of transitional justice
This article critically examines the concept of legal empowerment as it has been used with reference to transitional justice, mapping its rise and impact based on a selection of case studies. In recent decades, international transitional justice advocacy has evolved dramatically, with practice increasingly emphasising the centrality of criminal accountability for violence, precisely as more holistic approaches have emerged that have broadened the…
After the Arab Spring
After the “Arab Spring” and the initial democratic reforms in Turkey under the Justice and Development Party (AKP), why has democratic progress remained so elusive in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)? In recent years, that question has preoccupied numerous scholars, commentators, and policy makers. Behind most of their analyses, we believe, lurks an assumption that secular parties are intrinsically better stewards of constitutional liberal…
Transitional Justice
The rapid growth of transitional justice, in both scholarship and practice, has generated an increasing interest in explanatory and evaluative studies of transitional justice dilemmas confronted by transition elites.1 In particular, postcommunist encounters with transition witnessed the emergence of various practices of lustration, criminal trials and truth commissions. Thus, it is not surprising that the region’s diverse historical and political…
Introduction Croatia after Tuđman
On 10 January 2010 Ivo Josipovic, a Zagreb University law professor, was elected Croatia's third post-communist president. Despite Croatia's presidency being a largely symbolic office, Josipovic's
Defiance or Strategic Compliance? The Post-Tuđman Croatian Democratic Union and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
The electoral triumph of the Croatian Democratic Union (Hrvatska demokratska zajednica, HDZ) in Croatia's November 2003 parliamentary elections marked a return to government for the party of late P
Justice and Transition in Mississippi
Mississippi's contemporary revisiting of racial violence that marred the state's transition from a white supremacist political order, colloquially known as Jim Crow, to a post-Jim Crow polity constitutes a valuable case study for transitional justice scholarship and practice. It is within the context of an often overlooked yet violently contested transition that transitional justice discourses have increasingly permeated debates on how, and even …
Negotiating justice
Contested Sovereignty
At the conclusion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's 1999 air campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Savezna republika Jugoslavije: SRJ) the United States publicly committed itself to a policy of regime change towards the Belgrade government presided over by Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević. In addition, the May 1999 indictment of Milošević by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for crimes aga…
