Description
This course will be offered in Semester 2 only.
This intensive course explores the legal and other regulatory dimensions of transitions from dictatorships to democracies – from comparative and international perspectives. The course would be taught as a short overseas program in Chile, a country that experienced and emerged from one of the most brutal military dictatorships of the twentieth century. This course will provide students with unique insight into how transitional justice processes happen on the ground, from critical and comparative perspectives, and taking into account the legal, social and political dimensions of transitional justice. These processes include not only criminal law, constitutional and human rights responses, which are often the focus in transitional justice studies, but also include such fields as comparative law, environmental law, administrative law and other relevant fields. While we anticipate the Latin American experience to be the backbone of the course, that experience will be discussed in contrast with experiences in Africa, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
