Abstract
In reflecting on the contemporary challenges and future directions of transitional just-
ice theory and practice, this article addresses causality, accountability and political form
in a triangulated assessment of nationalism’s power and ‘stickiness’ in the present for-
mulations of transitional solutions. Addressing the identity politics of transitional just-
ice brings us to assess the political forms that enable, define and consume transition
with a particular hew to power-sharing and consociationalism-type arrangements in the
aftermath of systematic atrocity. The authors provide a pragmatic, perhaps cynical ac-
count of the triumph of consociationalism as the preferred transitional accommodation, and point to the ‘dark side’ of governance arrangements in postconflict settings
with implications for understanding cycles of violence and repeat conflict patterns. In
both contexts, we deploy a feminist lens to understand the implications for women
and gender transformation emerging from our framing of the politics of transitional
justice in the contemporary moment
