'Constitutions are forward-looking attempts to structure future politics, but also have to confront legacies of the past. This volume brings together a group of star scholars to consider the intersections of constitutions and transitional justice in a range of important and varied settings. Highly recommended!' Tom Ginsburg, Leo Spitz Professor of International Law, The University of Chicago Law School 'This book wonderfully illuminates the problems that arise when societies attempt to respond to their past record of injustice during the difficult period of transition. Its careful case studies alert us to the complexities of this process, including the problem that transitions may be retrogressive as well as progressive.' David Dyzenhaus, University Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Toronto 'Insightful and topical array of essays addressing the constitutionalism of transitional justice worldwide: this volume will be of profound interest to scholars and practitioners alike.' Ruti Teitel, Ernst C. Stiefel Professor of Comparative Law, New York Law School
