Since the end of the Cold War several political agreements have been signed in protracted conflicts such as: Northern Ireland, Israel-Palestine, South Africa, and Rwanda. This volume examines reconciliation, justice, and coexistence in the post-settlement context from the levels of both theory and practice. The contributors to this study discuss questions such as: do truth commissions work?; what are the necessary conditions for reconciliation?; can political agreements bring reconciliation?; and how can indigenous approaches be utilized in the process of reconciliation?
