The Afterlives of Transitional Justice
∞ Rising authoritarianism, far-right parties and violent political movements in the 21st century prompt scholars and practitioners to revisit two foundational assumptions in the transitional justice field, which was established in the 20th century amid the third wave of democratization. The first is that transitional justice is a consequence and a cause of democratic transition and consolidation. The second is that transitional justice has been a…
The Price of Justice: Compliance and Damages Awarded by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
What factors explain compliance with monetary damages awarded by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR)? States comply with the payment of monetary damages at higher rates than other forms of reparation. However, the higher compliance rate belies the significant variation in time to compliance with the payment of monetary awards. We identify three case-level characteristics that explain this variation: size of awards, number of victims…
Domestic accountability and non-compliance with international law: Evidence from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
Domestic public preferences often shape leaders' decisions to comply with international legal rulings. Human rights scholars usually assume these preferences favor enforcement and justice. However, just because the public supports human rights does not mean they universally support remedies ordered by international courts. What happens when leaders face competing compliance pressures from an international court and domestic public? I examine this…
From Cautious Optimism to Backlash: Uruguay and the Gelman Decision after Ten Years
Gelman v. Uruguay (2011) was a watershed moment in Uruguayan civil society's quest for accountability, prompting official repeal of the country's 1986 Amnesty Law. Much scholarship about the case centres around the immediate aftermath of the decision, largely on initial compliance and cautious optimism for accountability. Yet the analysis of a longer timeframe reveals mixed results. The article examines how initial momentum unravelled as conditio…
The Politics of Punishment: Why Dictators Join the International Criminal Court
Scholars commonly argue that international law and organizations promote democracy by helping dictators to credibly commit to accountability, individual rights, and transparency. Yet dictators routinely join treaties and international organizations without transitioning to democracy. International law and organizations can generate asymmetric costs for domestic actors because international rules often apply to both governments and non-state actor…
From “Is It Unconfounded?” to “How Much Confounding Would It Take: Applying the Sensitivity-Based Approach to Assess Causes of Support for Peace in Colombia
Attention to the credibility of causal claims has increased tremendously in recent years. When relying on observational data, debate often centers on whether investigators have ruled out any bias due to confounding. However, the relevant scientific question is generally not whether bias is precisely zero but whether it is problematic enough to alter one’s research conclusion. We argue that sensitivity analyses would improve research practice by s…
Inequality and social capital in the EU regions: A Multidimensional Analysis
This paper focuses on the interactions between social capital and production structure in their relation with regional inequality. Combining survey data with available regional databases for the EU-15, it provides a panel data analysis of multidimensional inequalities based on the idea that social capital is a fundamental factor determining its regional levels, along with the economic specialization of regions. Results confirm an inverse relation…
