I began this book with a discussion of three central questions about political reconciliation, sparked by the establishment of the TRC in South Africa, for which a conception of reconciliation should provide theoretical resources for addressing and resolving. The first concerns the source of the normative significance of political reconciliation. The second centers on the criteria that should be used to evaluate the effectiveness and moral justifiability of processes of political reconciliation. The third is the grounds for the claim that political reconciliation is critical for successful democratization. I also articulated a series of desiderata for an adequate conception. A conception of political reconciliation, I argued, should be able to capture the institutional and interpersonal dimensions of the problems that afflict political interaction during periods of civil conflict and repressive rule. It should respond to the urgent and pressing practical need for a normative theory of political reconciliation by specifying the particular characteristics of damaged and rebuilt political relationships in detail. Finally, a conception of reconciliation should have a certain unity; when capturing the complex dimensions of damage to political relationships, a conception should not simply combine disparate moral concerns in an ad hoc manner. Rather, it should provide a coherent picture of the multifaceted ways in which political relationships suffer during periods of conflict and repression. By way of conclusion, I first return to these central questions about political reconciliation, review the answers my analysis suggests, and explain why my analysis fulfills the desiderata of an adequate account.
