The Nile on eBay   Restorative Justice, Reconciliation, and Peacebuilding by Jennifer J. Llewellyn, Daniel Philpott

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

All over the world, the practice of peacebuilding is beset with common dilemmas: peace versus justice, religious versus secular approaches, individual versus structural justice, reconciliation versus retribution, and the harmonization of the sheer number of practices involved in repairing past harms. Progress towards resolving these dilemmas requires reforming institutions and practices but also clear thinking about basic questions: What is justice? And how is itrelated to the building of peace? The twin concepts of reconciliation and restorative justice, both involving the holistic restoration of right relationship, contain not only a compelling logic ofjustice but also great promise for resolving peacebuilding's tensions and for constructing and assessing its institutions and practices. This book furthers this potential by developing not only the core content of these concepts but also their implications for accountability, forgiveness, reparations, traditional practices, human rights, and international law.

Review

"An original and powerful book. It is a valuable collection of essays documenting different ways of reweaving the warp and woof of torn societies through justice-based processes. Its most important contribution, however, is theoretical: a concept of justice that marries individual agency with the life-giving web of human relationships in a way that will benefit theorists and practitioners alike." --Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America Foundation"This is an unusual time not because some societies experience massive violence and oppression, but because lawyers, theologians, politicians, and members of civil society fight for responses. In the hands of the scholars whose essays make up this book, projects of truth-telling, reconciliation, and restorative justice become peace-building and social repair -- but also objects of steady and critical inquiries meant to help societies and nations on theaftermath of conflict. Offering unflinching discussions of the 'transitional justice mafia,' the resources and limitations of religious traditions, punishment, amnesties, reparations, these essays offer neededillumination and analytic tools for those familiar with these issues and for those new to them." --Martha Minow, author of Between Vengeance and Forgiveness
