This book uses a multi-method approach to examine the impact of truth commissions on subsequent human rights protection and democratic practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding the first cross-national analysis of the impact of truth commissions and presenting detailed analytical case studies on South Africa, El Salvador, Chile, and Uganda, author Eric Wiebelhaus-Brahm examines how truth commission investigations and their final reports have shaped the respective societies. The author demonstrates that in the longer term, truth commissions have often had appreciable effects on human rights, but more limited impact in terms of democratic development. The book concludes by considering how future research can build upon these findings to provide policymakers with strong recommendations on whether and how a truth commission is likely to help fragile post-conflict societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars of Transition Justice, Human Rights, Peace and Conflict Studies, Democratization Studies, International Law and International Relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Wiebelhaus-Brahm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415553210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415553216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2010","brand":"Eric Wiebelhaus-Brahm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086623453439,"sku":"9780415553216","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2779ee4-e9a1-413a-a310-9e78410e19da.jpg?v=1769095711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/truth-commissions-and-transitional-societies-eric-wiebelhaus-brahm-9780415553216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
