The panel discussion launches a special issue of the journal Ethnic and Racial Studies coedited by James Hughes and Denisa Kostovicova of LSE’s Department of Government.
The panel puts the concepts of transitional justice and reconciliation in post-conflict states and societies under critical scrutiny, contrasting the normative discourses underpinning the concepts with the lived realities. A number of important illustrative cases, such as Israel/Palestine, Balkans, Northern Ireland, and Peru, will be discussed.
