Restorative Transitional Justice
1986 - 1992
During the 1986–1992 window, research coalesces around restorative, normative, and governance-oriented understandings of justice within rapidly democratizing contexts. The dominant pattern treats transitions as sites of policy design and accountability, where community-oriented remedies, inclusivity, and non-punitive responses become central to reform trajectories. Methodologically, scholars blend normative analysis with comparative case studies and criminological critique to illuminate how policy design, community legitimacy, and cultural dimensions shape justice outcomes.
• Integrative theory of justice: several works fuse global, distributive, and procedural justice with transitional contexts to ground policy and governance in normative ideals [4], [7], [10], [15], [19].
• Democratization as motor of TJ: transition processes, democratization, diplomacy, and peace are positioned as central determinants of justice outcomes, shaping reform trajectories [8], [13], [15], [16].
• Criminological theory, crime control, and rehabilitation within TJ: theoretical criminology, crime/shame reintegration, rehabilitation, and bias critique structure justice interventions [5], [9], [14], [18].
• Narrative, culture, and emotion in TJ: theatre, trauma, empathy, and narrative framing of injustice shape public perception and policy implications [1], [6], [11].
• Gender, intersectionality, and epistemic justice in TJ: gender boundaries, digital citizenship, social inequality, and epistemic justice considerations surface in justice theory and practice [5], [10], [17], [20].
