Handbook of Research on Transitional Justice and Peace Building in Turbulent Regions
In the era of globalization, awareness surrounding issues of violence and human rights violations has reached an all-time high. In a world where billions of human beings have the potential to create endless destruction, these same individuals are capable of working cooperatively to create adequate solutions to current global problems. The Handbook of Research on Transitional Justice and Peace Building in Turbulent Regions focuses on current issues facing nations and regions where poverty and conflict are endangering the lives of citizens as well as the socio-economic viability of those regions. Highlighting crucial topics and offering potential solutions to problems relating to domestic and international conflict, societal safety and security, as well as political instability, this comprehensive publication is designed to meet the research needs of economists, social theorists, politicians, policy makers, human rights activists, researchers, and graduate-level students across disciplines.

Nonviolent Political Economy

Time and Temporality in Transitional and Post-Conflict Societies
Implicit conceptions of time associated with progress and linearity have influenced scholars and practitioners in the fields of transitional justice and peacebuilding, but time and temporality have rarely been systematically considered. Time and Temporality in Transitional and Post-Conflict Societies examines how time is experienced, constructed and used in transitional and post-conflict societies. This collection critically questions linear, transitional justice time and highlights the different temporalities that exist at local and institutional levels through original empirical research. Presenting empirical and often ethnographic research from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cambodia, Mozam...
Political Branding in Cities
This book examines how cities suffering from poor government made a transition to brand politics to break a cycle of inertia.
The Colombian Peace Process and the Principle of Complementarity of the International Criminal Court
Striking a balance between peace and justice has long been debated by scholars and practitioners. There has been definite progress in a world in which blanket amnesties were at times granted with little hesitation. There is a growing understanding that accountability has both pragmatic and principled arguments in its favor. Practical arguments as much as shifts in norms have created a situation in which the choice is increasingly seen as "which forms of accountability" rather than a stark one between peace and justice. The Colombian Justice and Peace Law 975 and its implementation offer an interesting and unique approach to dealing with the international crimes committed in Colombia’s decades-long armed conflict. Yet, will this approach suffice with regard to Colombia’s obligations under international law to investigate and prosecute international crimes? Does it meet the standards of the ICC, which has been monitoring the Colombian situation for some time now? In particular, does it pass the complementarity test laid out in the ICC statute or will the ICC have to intervene in Colombia to enforce international criminal law?
Resisting War
This book explores how local social organization and cohesion enable covert and overt nonviolent strategies.
Umbrales de reconciliación, perspectivas de acción política noviolenta
El hilo conductor de este libro es el reclamo y la necesidad de reconciliación que se desarrollan como procesos de comprensión de las diferencias y de generación de justicia en sociedades en las que el conflicto destructivo no es una situación eventual, sino constante y permanente. En la primera parte del libro se explora el concepto de reconciliación. Se hace énfasis en que, desde la perspectiva de lo negociable la justicia debe primordialmente intentar recobrar y reconstruir relaciones sociales rotas y, además, generar castigos constructivos. En la segunda parte se examinan los alcances de la resistencia y la desobediencia. Dentro de toda democracia está en manos de la ciudadanía el arma de la desobediencia civil y los repertorios de acción política noviolenta, y de resistencia civil, para incidir en la política pública y así minizar los grados de adulteración de la justicia. La tercera parte invita al lector a que se asome al reto de la reconciliación, a que constate los umbrales ...
