A Book Reparation in Democratic Societies in Transition (does not include Cambodia)

Retribution and Reparation in the Transition to Democracy (Hardcover) by Jon Elster (Editor)

Book DescriptionThe contributions in this study present a comprehensive analysis of transitional justice from 1945 to the present. They feature a general theoretical analysis of the processes of retribution and reparation as well as case studies by historians and political scientists who discuss the West European transitions after 1945 and more recent Latin American, East European, and South African transitions to democracy in the 1980s and 1990s. The volume's focus is on retribution against the leaders and agents of the autocratic regime preceding the democratic transition, and on reparation to its victims.
