Transitional Justice and the Prosecution of Political Leaders in the Arab Region
Hart Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-5099-1133-2 (ISBN)
Using original findings generated from almost 50 interviews across 4 countries, this research builds on the growing critical literature that claims that transitional justice is an under-theorised field and needs to be developed to take into account non-liberal and complex transitions. It will be stimulating and thought-provoking reading for all those interested in transitional justice and the ‘Arab Spring’.
Noha Aboueldahab is Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Doha Center.
