CfP: Evaluating Transitional Justice

The International Journal of Transitional Justice invites submissions  for its 2010 special issue titled 'Transitional Justice on Trial: Evaluating Its Impact,' to be guest edited by Colleen Duggan, Senior Program Specialist, Evaluation Unit, International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada. Papers should be submitted online from the IJTJ webpage. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2010.

The International Journal of Transitional Justice publishes high quality, refereed articles in the rapidly growing field of transitional justice; that is the study of those strategies employed by states and international institutions to deal with a legacy of human rights abuses and to effect social reconstruction in the wake of widespread violence. Topics covered by the journal include (but are not limited to): truth commissions, universal jurisdiction, post-conflict social reconciliation, victim and perpetrator studies, international and domestic prosecutions, institutional transformation, vetting, memorialization, reparations and ex-combatant reintegration.
