Abstract

Facing a challenging transition process, Libya stands to profit from a reconstruction strategy and a vision that bring the country together. Investment decisions will have to be based on the analysis of alternative short-, medium-, and long-term interventions and the sequencing of related reforms, all while considering the realities on the ground. A stable Libya will carry substantive positive spill-over effects for neighboring countries and beyond. If sustainable peace and stability are to take hold, Libya's partners must stay the course, sustain engagement, and support Libya's efforts to rebuild equitably and inclusively. This publication is a rich compilation of analytical work on Libya's sector dynamics and reform choices. The content was developed in partnership with 60 contributors from nine institutions. The book's 21 chapters address institutional transformation, reflect on the conflict's impact on the economy, and outline the consequences of the conflict on people and services. The book demonstrates that even in challenging circumstances, one can contribute to the development of a near- and medium-term vision for a political, economic, and socially inclusive Libya while acknowledging the need to adapt as the circumstances evolve. Utilizing a number of analytical techniques (including phone surveys and nighttime data), the authors make a unique contribution to the discussion of Libya's medium- to long-term challenges for readers in government, civil society, and academia.

Abstract

This book explores the practical and theoretical opportunities as well as the challenges raised by the expansion of transitional justice into new and aparadigmatic' cases. The book defines transitional justice as the pursuit of accountability, recognition and/or disruption and applies an actor-centric analysis focusing on justice actors' intentions of and responses to transitional justice. It offers a typology of different transitional justice contexts ranging from societies experiencing ongoing conflict to consolidated democracies, and includes chapters from all types of aparadigmatic contexts. This covers transitional justice in states with contested political authority, shared political authority, and consolidated political authority. The transitional justice initiatives explored by the wide range of contributors are those of Afghanistan, Belgium, France, Greenland/Denmark, Libya, Syria, Turkey/Kurdistan, UK/Iraq, US, and Yemen. Through these aparadigmatic case studies, the book develops a new framework that, appropriate to its expanding reach, allows us to understand the practice of transitional justice in a more context-sensitive, bottom-up, and actor-oriented way, which leaves room for the complexity and messiness of interventions on the ground. The book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in the broad field of transitional justice, as represented in law, criminology, politics, conflict studies and human rights. --

Abstract

The post-war reconstruction effort in Ukraine might be the largest post-war rebuilding effort in modern history. Both the United States and Europe have begun to plan for Ukraine's success. The authors of this report examine previous post-war and post–natural disaster reform and reconstruction efforts to draw lessons and inform policymakers. They also discuss security arrangements, which will be essential for the success of reconstruction. While reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan was more recent, Ukraine is fundamentally different. Instead, more-relevant lessons can be drawn from the truly transformative reform and reconstruction efforts in Western Europe following World War II, Central and Eastern Europe following the Cold War, and the Western Balkans following the wars in the former Yugoslavia. In all of these cases, the United States provided seed money and security, and the Europeans provided the bulk of the funding and advanced the process of European integration.

Abstract

"In the year 2019 Rwanda marked twenty-five years after the genocide against the Tutsi. Sadly, Catholic priests and nuns were complicit - or even participated in the killing of an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis. Thousands of people were slaughtered in Catholic Churches where they took refuge. For example, 5000 people are estimated to have been killed at the Ntarama Catholic Church in August 1994. In March of 2017, Pope Francis issued an apology, remarking that "the sins and failings of the Church and its members," had "disfigured the face" of Catholicism." This statement recognized that the Catholic Church's role in the genocide has implicated the entire Church and is an invitation to reimagine the very essence of the meaning of the Church, theology in its multiple dimensions, the missionary enterprise, the mission of the Church, and the place of human dignity in the Catholic faith. The task of rethinking what it means to be the Church and restoring fraternal identity as Christians in post-genocide Rwanda is thus crucial if theology is to make sense again. This is particularly imperative in as much as theology is compelled to reflect upon the very evils that have disfigured the Church's image and people's identity, namely the evils of sin, suffering, the indifference of bystanders, the increasing number of genocide deniers, the complexity of memory, the lack of credible and prophetic leadership that invites a new way of thinking about theology. This book brings together bishops, theologians, historians, and other scholars to reflect on how the Rwandan Catholic Church can restore fundamental peace and rebuild lasting reconciliation"--

Abstract

Historical evolution and processes of cultural and economic globalization have brought out relevant and frightening risks on a global scale: from urbicide and violence to climate change and an increase in natural disasters, but also an enormous widening of economic and social inequality. Today, humanity as a whole is facing epochal challenges that require a radical metamorphosis of inhabited spaces. Cities Under Pressure illustrates a new design paradigm, an open intervention system that seeks the establishment of a dynamic equilibrium that is continuously renegotiated. Cities Under Pressure imagines and defines new urban environments that abandon a rigid design scheme in favor of growing evolutionary mechanisms capable of embodying the ongoing sustainable transition, so as to guarantee a resilient and peaceful future.

Abstract

Nothing More than Freedom explores the long and complex legal history of Black freedom in the United States. From the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 until the end of Reconstruction in 1877, supreme courts in former slave states decided approximately 700 lawsuits associated with the struggle for Black freedom and equal citizenship. This litigation - the majority through private law - triggered questions about American liberty and reassessed the nation's legal and political order following the Civil War. Judicial decisions set the terms of debates about racial identity, civil rights, and national belonging, and established that slavery, as a legal institution and social practice, remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. The verdicts determined how unresolved facets of slavery would undercut ongoing efforts for abolition and the realization of equality. Insightful and compelling, this work makes an important intervention in the history of post-Civil War law.

Abstract

Comment terminer les crises ? Comment résoudre les tensions qu’elles ont fait naître tout en préparant une paix durable ? À travers une approche comparative croisant des aires géographiques et des disciplines différentes, cet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur l’après-crise, dont la gestion constitue un enjeu majeur pour les sociétés marquées par les héritages de conflits armés – parfois toujours en cours – ou d’affrontements sociaux. Les contributions sur la justice sociale ou la justice transitionnelle posent la question de la place du droit dans la résolution de conflits et de la difficulté à mettre en place une solution concrète. Les objets de travaux de terrain et les différentes approches mettent en lumière les forces et les limites des politiques actuelles. L’après-conflit, c’est aussi la reconstruction de la mémoire et les confrontations entre différents acteurs. Médias et institutions sont-ils capables d’œuvrer pour la paix ? Le veulent-ils vraiment ? L’ouvrage est complété par deux témoignages, l’un photographique, l’autre littéraire, qui permettent de mieux saisir les problématiques de l’après dans leur complexité.
