In helping deeply divided societies come to terms with a troubled past, transitional justice often fails to produce the intended results. Thin Sympathy argues that the acquisition of a basic understanding of what has taken place in the past will enable the development of a more durable transitional justice process.

International Negotiation Series, 8 (International Studies Library, ) Since the demise of the Soviet Union, and, to a greater degree, after the collapse of apartheid in South Africa, interest in the transition from mass atrocity has swelled. Surprisingly, this upsurge produced few systematic philosophical discussions of the notion of 'reconciliation'. The term is employed as if its meaning were obvious. Like 'terrorism' or 'patriotism', 'reconciliation' has become one of those terms, which is easy to use but harder to explain. This book provides a theory of political reconciliation. Its argument is that what Adam Smith called 'sympathy', the ability to view the world from another's perspective, offers a promising framework for thinking about reconciliation - more promising than accounts focusing on forgiveness, forgetting or mutual recognition. The book also suggests that the notion of sympathy is essential for evaluating transitional policies such as truth commissions and war crime tribunals. "Eisikovits does what not many other can do. He moves from philosophical exploration to public policy to practical guidance with the greatest of ease. In his analysis of peace processes, when they succeed and why they fail, he draws case studies from a broad range of situations spicing these evocative histories with hypothetical examples that so well illustrate as well as amuse. In brief, Eisikovits is presenting a book that will remain a classic as long as the classics upon which he bases his original arguments have inspired thought. His friendly, unpretentious tone, the leadership that he offers through a maze of complicated issues ensures that this book will be a standard textbook in so many popular courses in political science, international affairs, conflict resolution and many other popular fields. But it will also be on the desks and prominent in the libraries of statesman and diplomats who have to structure decision making processes of different complexities."

"A mesmerising reflection on the present and its relationship to the past, and the difficulty of relating the apparently serene streets he walks through to what took place in those same streets 50 years previously". -- Independent on Sunday From Berlin gathers Armando's observations of Berlin and the voices of those who lived through the Second World War in a work which is moving and disturbing, and at the same time full of bleak humour.

The peaceful end of apartheid in South Africa was a monumental event in late twentieth century history. A racist regime built upon a foundation of colonialist exploitation, South Africa had become by that point a tinderbox: suffused with day-to-day violence and political extremism on all sides. Yet two decades later it was a stable democracy with a growing economy. How did such a deeply divided, conflicted society manage this remarkable transition? In When Political Transitions Work, Fanie du Toit, who has been a participant and close observer in post-conflict developments throughout Africa for decades, offers a new theory for why South Africa's reconciliation worked and why its lessons remain relevant for other nations emerging from civil conflicts. He uses reconciliation as a framework for political transition and seeks to answer three key questions: how do the reconciliation processes begin; how can political transitions result in inclusive and fair institutional change; and to what extent does reconciliation change the way a society functions? Looking at South Africa, one of reconciliation's most celebrated cases, Du Toit shows that the key ingredient to successful reconciliations is acknowledging the centrality of relationships. He further develops his own theoretical approach to reconciliation-as-interdependence-the idea that reconciliation is the result of an integrated process of courageous leadership, fair and inclusive institutions, and social change built toward a mutual goal of prosperity. As Du Toit conveys, the motivation for reconciliation is the long-term well-being of one's own community, as well as that of enemy groups. Without ensuring the conditions in which one's enemy can flourish, one's own community is unlikely to prosper sustainably.

This book addresses the theoretical underpinnings of the field of transitional justice, something that has hitherto been lacking both in study and practice. With the common goal of clarifying some of the theoretical profiles of transitional justice strategies, the study is organized along crucial intersections evaluating aspects connected to the genealogy, the nature, the scope and the most appropriate methodology for the study of transitional justice. The chapters also take up normative and political considerations pertaining to specific transitional instruments such as war crime tribunals, truth commissions, administrative purges, reparations, and historical commissions. Bringing together some of the most original writings from established experts as well as from promising young scholars in the field, the collection will be an essential resource for researchers, academics and policy-makers in Law, Philosophy, Politics, and Sociology.

Col., giving her perspectives on the blending of reality and fiction in Aeschylus’ war tragedies and on the potential of Greek tragedy to speak to contemporary veterans.

In Still to Fight On, Dr. Quentin White proposes a ministry model for African American veterans in VA hospitals. Inspired by his service in the military, veteran’s hospital, and the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. White offers a unique perspective on how to serve these veterans and by extension, all veterans in hospitals and religious settings. Using autobiographical, theological, biblical, historical, and practical resources, Dr. White suggests ways to break through the alienation, woundedness, suspicion, and mistrust of Black veterans toward the system, to deeper relationships with self, others and God. Still to Fight On is one veteran’s way of helping chaplains, counselors, ministers, veterans’ advocates, clinicians, and caregivers of Black veterans gain new insights on their work with Black veterans. In addition to veterans themselves, anyone who has a passion for the survival and wholeness of those who have worn their country’s uniform and, in some cases, carry the scars of battle, should welcome this resource.

War Comics Impact explores the significant role comic books have played in shaping perceptions of warfare and military history. From World War II's patriotic narratives to the Vietnam War's more critical perspectives, these visual narratives reflect and influence societal views on conflict, heroism, and sacrifice. Intriguingly, comics served as a powerful propaganda tool, promoting national unity during times of war, while also documenting military events and offering personal expressions on the moral complexities of armed conflict. The book examines how comic book propaganda and visual narratives construct broader cultural narratives and how the comics industry itself evolved alongside changing social attitudes. Examining both real-world military events and fictional narratives, it analyzes Golden Age comics and post-war depictions of war, exploring issues such as trauma and moral ambiguity. By delving into the visual language of comics, the role of artists, and diverse genres, the book paints a comprehensive picture of this cultural artifact. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, the book starts by introducing key concepts and historiography, then progresses through dedicated chapters analyzing specific eras and themes. The final section discusses the lasting legacy of war comics and their ongoing relevance in contemporary society, making it a valuable resource for enthusiasts of military history, art, and comic books.

The Marital Knot concludes with a discussion of empathy, forgiveness, and mourning: the necessary elements for maintaining commitment and repairing betrayals.
