Exciting news! Accountability Shock is available! The book shows how robust transitional justice contributes to the development of peaceful democracies and prevents the outbreak of criminal wars. It is the product of a truly amazing intellectual partnership with G. Trejo and @tiscornia21.bsky.social
Accountability Shock is out with CUP! It explains why transitional justice tools deter criminal wars in new democracies. Grateful to Guillermo Trejo and @juanalbarracind.bsky.social for an amazing collaboration and to all who shared their expertise with us.
