Summary

This book concludes in Chapter Eight with a look at some of the potential policy implications that flow from the critiques of both transitional justice and post-conflict peacebuilding presented in chapters one to seven. While not constituting a detailed road map, I present five broad policy arcs for change that, if taken to heart, would prove transformative for transitional justice practice in the twenty-first century: (1) it should embrace more extended concepts of peace, justice and violence; (2) it should embrace the idea of “liberal localism”; (3) it should strike a better balance between retributive, restorative and distributive justice; (4) it should embrace a paradigm of peacebuilding, of the emancipatory kind, supported by a broader range of liberalisms; and finally, (5) it should embrace a sense of “radical humility.”
