Kurzinformation

In divided societies such as South Africa, Chile, Australia and Northern Ireland, reconciliation has been promoted in politics as a way of reckoning with the legacy of political violence while opening the way for community in the future. But, in an important sense, reconciliation is at odds with politics. Whereas politics entails openness, conflict and dissent, reconciliation is directed towards closure, harmony, and consensus.

How, then, might we understand reconciliation as a political undertaking? This book examines issues of transitional justice in the context of contemporary debates in political theory concerning the nature of the political. Drawing on the work of Hannah Arendt, the author argues that if we are to talk of reconciliation in politics we need to think about it in a fundamentally different way—as ‘agonisti’ rather than restorative. This argument is developed in relation to four key aspects of the politics of reconciliation: the constitution of a polity, the possibility of forgiveness in politics, collective responsibility of citizens for state wrongs and commemoration of a painful past.

This book will be of interest to students and researchers with a particular interest in transititional justice and those in the fields of political theory, peace and conflict studies, international relations, philosophy and ethics.
