| Description: |
The decline of authoritarianism in Latin America and Eastern Europe closed a dark chapter in the history of these societies. Drawing comparisons from case studies in Latin America and Eastern Europe, this book demonstrates that while there are many different paths to truth and justice, all depend on continued efforts in order to reach them. |
| Synopsis: |
The decline of authoritarianism in Latin America and Eastern Europe marked the end of a dark chapter in the history of these societies. In both regions, transition to democracy was accompanied by distinct efforts to come to terms with the traumatic experiences of the past and to demand accountability from the oppressors. The impact of these efforts rippled far beyond national boundaries, expanding the frontiers of international justice, and yielding indelible lessons and inspiration. |
