In the process, people forge bonds of solidarity and offset divisive identity politics that bears upon their deliberations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReconciliation by Stealth\u003c\/i\u003e shows us the importance of theoretical and methodological innovation in capturing how transitional justice can promote reconciliation, and points to the untapped potential of deliberative problem-solving to repair relationships fractured by conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to generous funding from the London School of Economic and Political Science, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu\/cornell-open) and other repositories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denisa Kostovicova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501769030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501769030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023","brand":"Denisa Kostovicova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132259922175,"sku":"9781501769030","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_514786ad-9c88-4652-b392-e7a6e6ac90d3.jpg?v=1687479160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconciliation-by-stealth-denisa-kostovicova-9781501769030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
