NEW BOOK BY SUMMER SCHOOL SCHOLARS

 

Check out the latest publication by several of our Summer School scholars:

 

This edited volume was inspired by lectures, discussions and workshops held over the past few years on the island of Cres and helps to critically re-conceptualize the way we perceive and interpret the field of transitional justice based on new, innovative case studies.

Since the 1980e 1980s, transitional justice mechanisms have been increasingly applied to account for mass atrocities and grave human rights violations throughout the world. Over time, post-conflict justice practices have expanded across continents and state borders and have fueled the creation of new ideas that go beyond traditional notions of amnesty, retribution, and reconciliation. Gathering work from contributors in international law, political science, sociology, and history, New Critical Spaces in Transitional Justice addresses issues of space and time in transitional justice studies. It explains new trends in responses to post-conflict and post-authoritarian nations and offers original empirical research to help define the field for the future.

TESTIMONIALS

“My participation in the Summer School was a new experience learning and working with an international team of lecturers and participants. I learned from experiences from people from Libya and the Maghreb region in general. Also the lecturers gave me an insight in the way the ICTY and ICC work. The concept of the Summer school was very well planned out, with the combination of lectures, workshops and field trips. The contacts I gained on Summer school are priceless.”

Sven Milekic Program Coordinator for Transitional Justice – Youth Initiative for Human Rights, Croatia

"It was really an incredible opportunity and significant experience to engage and share experiences with an international family and meet such wonderful friendly people from different countries who themselves went through similar experiences, it really looks like visiting people from the future."

“A picturesque Mediterranean island where creative learning meets lots of sun and interesting debates.”
Mateja Sincic Student, University of Rijeka
“The Summer school in Cres was a unique opportunity to hear and meet transitional justice experts from both the former Yugoslavia and the MENA region. The School is an excellent platform for exchanging views and ideas about politics of memory in two very different regions, offering an interesting comparative approach for studying post conflict societies.”
