Is Transitional Justice Locally or Globally Driven? Individuals, Policy Design and Implementation

Astrid Jamar

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract / Description of output

A number of international organisations encouraged and financed socio-political and judicial responses with the aim of building sustainable peace in Rwanda and Burundi. Using ethnographic methods, I undertook an ‘aidnography’ of TJ practitioners by scrutinising the everyday of the local and expatriate professionals who were involved in the implementation of gacaca courts in Rwanda and the preparations for TRC in Burundi. This research aims to address the frictions between the global norms around TJ and its local practices. The paper focus on the role of individuals in the implementation of these policies.
