Women and Transitional Justice (eBook, PDF)

The Experience of Women as Participants
Redaktion: Yarwood, Lisa

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the evolving principle of transitional justice in public international law and international relations from the female perspective at a time when the concept is increasingly recognised by the international community as an effective framework in which to negotiate and manage a community's post-conflict transition to peace and stability. The book adopts a gender lens with a particular focus on women's direct experiences and perceptions either as intended beneficiaries of transitional justice (TJ), protagonists in that process or as practitioners, in order to present a unique view in relation to the development of TJ. The range of experiences and knowledge in this collection provides a fresh and unique perspective through its blend of theory and practice.

This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of law, political science and gender studies.
