This comprehensive three-volume reference work collects and summarizes the wealth of information available in the field of transitional justice. Transitional justice is an emerging domain of inquiry that has gained importance with the regime changes in Latin America after the 1970s, the collapse of the European and Soviet communist regimes in 1989 and 1991, and the Arab revolutions of 2011, among others. The Encyclopedia of Transitional Justice, which offers 287 entries written by 166 scholars and practitioners drawn from diverse jurisdictions, includes detailed country studies; entries on transitional justice institutions and organizations; descriptions of transitional justice methods, processes, and practices; examinations of key debates and controversies; and a glossary of relevant terms and concepts. The Encyclopedia's accessible style will appeal to a broad audience interested in understanding how different countries have reckoned with post-conflict justice.

Reviews & endorsements
"Transitional justice focuses on states and societies that have suffered massive human rights abuses. Contributors … offer a comprehensive, three-volume encyclopedia with nearly 300 entries from noted scholars and practitioners … Summing up: recommended."
J. A. Hardenbrook, ChoiceSee more reviews"Encyclopedia of Transitional Justice is a marker of the field’s maturity - a representation of strength gained through exercise as well as a resource for its future growth."
Pablo de Greiff, International Journal of Transitional Justice'This formidable three-volume Encyclopedia contains a wealth of information and is a very useful reference collection, especially for those wanting a global overview … It impressively presents the first ever drawing together of the enormous amount of work that has been done on dealing with past, across the world and across disciplines … The editors have taken on a monumental task and done an admirable job in compiling this treasure trove of information. Most readers will learn about concepts, approaches, work, countries and institutions that they are not familiar with … This important work also has the potential to enrich further the perspectives of its contributors, expert as they already are in a particular area.' Suzanna Linton, International and Comparative Law Quarterly
