Title: The Politics Of Reparations And Apologies
Description: "The Politics of Reparations and Apologies examines the evolution and dynamics of reparation politics and justice. The volume introduces key concepts, theories, and terms associated with social movements and in particular, the redress and reparation movement (RRM). Drawing from RRMs that have their foundation in World War II - the German genocides, the United States internments, and the Japanese 'comfort women' system - the volume explores each case study's relative success or failure in achieving its goals and argues that there are overarching trends that can explain success and failure more generally in the RRM movement. Using the backdrop of international criminal law and normative concepts of reparations, the volume establishes and analyzes the roles of reparations and apologies in obtaining transitional justice. In each case study,
