Retribution and Reparation in the Transition to Democracy,
Jon Elster, ed., New York: Cambridge University Press, 2006, pp. 341.
Retribution and Reparation in the Transition to Democracy is
a useful addition to the burgeoning scholastic field of transitional
justice. The essays in the book are authored by several well-known and
other lesser-known scholars, including Luc Huyse, Claus Offe and Alex
Boraine. Collectively, the essays tackle two of the major themes of
transitional justice: retribution and reparation.
