Transitional (in)Justice and Enforcing the Peace on Palestine

This book considers the growing interest in transitional justice practices that take place against the backdrop of ongoing settler-colonialism in Palestine. By critiquing the role of common top-down and bottom-up interventions, namely truth recovery and international criminal justice, the book argues that transitional justice acts as an extension of a deeply flawed peacebuilding process that has been so destructive in Palestine and has a deflating effect when it comes to advancing calls for meaningful decolonisation. A 'radicalisation' of transitional justice that takes place in settler-colonial contexts, one that prioritises conversations around meaningful decolonisation, is therefore required. The book will appeal to those with an interest in peacebuilding, conflict transformation and transitional justice.

Provides a detailed examination of transitional justice practice in Palestine-Israel Builds on the author's interest in transitional justice and liberal peacebuilding, and the works of Erakat and Halper Offers an important contribution to the ongoing discussion on the impact of liberal and neo-liberal thought
