This volume investigates the complex, evolving relationship between transitional justice and peacebuilding, specifically questioning how victim-centered approaches and disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programs can be effectively integrated in post-conflict societies. Edited by Chandra Lekha Sriram, the text compiles research from various scholars to move beyond the traditional 'peace versus justice' dichotomy. It utilizes case studies and theoretical analysis to examine how accountability and security measures function within political transitions.
