Description
Truth commissions, apologies, and reparations are just some of the transitional justice mechanisms embraced by established democracies. This groundbreaking exploration of political theory explains how these forms of state redress repair the damage state wrongdoing inflicts upon political legitimacy.
Reviews / Votes
"Winter's book makes a number of contributions to thinking about redress and transitional justice, but the legitimating account is the most important. . Transitional Justice in Established Democracies includes the best theoretical discussion of reparation yet written, and it should herald a new way of thinking about injustice and redress." (Stephen Galoob, Journal of Value Inquiry, Vol. 50, 2016)
