Transitional Justice
This collection on transitional justice sits as part of a library of essays on different concepts of ’justice’. Yet transitional justice appears quite different from other types of justice and fundamental ambiguities characterise the term that raise questions as to how it should sit alongside other concepts of justice. This collection attempts to capture and portray three different dimensions of the transitional justice field. Part I addresses the origins of the field which continue to bedevil it. Indeed the origins themselves are increasingly debated in what is an emergent contested historiography of the field that assists in understanding its contemporary quirks and concerns. Part II addresses and sets out parts of the ’tool-kit’ of transitional justice, which could be understood as the canonical research agenda of the field. Part III tries to convey a sense of the way in which the field is un-folding and extending to new transitions, tools, theories of justice, and self-critique.
A Key to Criminal Law
Criminal Justice worldwide has moved from revenge to justice in due time and place. This book describes the most important aspects of criminal justice, such as morally, religiously, culturally and socially unacceptable behaviour, freedom or security, blame, retribution or prevention. It shows the reader what dilemmas occur around deed or perpetrator, suspect or victim, doing right or atoning, security or privacy, the voice of the people or administration of justice. And it addresses 'the greater evil' the power or powerlessness of criminal law where, for example crimes against humanity, tribunals, and truth commissions are concerned.

The Integrity of the Judge
There is no consensus among legal scholars on the meaning of judicial integrity, nor has legal scholarship yet seen a well-articulated discussion about the normative concept of judicial integrity. This book makes an analysis of the discourses on judicial integrity in judiciaries in both established and developing democracies. In the former, the rule of law is well-developed and trust in the judges is high, yet new demands for accountability emerge. In the latter, traditional integrity problems such as fraud and corruption take centre stage. The author argues that integrity must be understood both as professional virtue -discussed here through the lens of virtue ethical theory - and as the safeguarding of public trust, as understood through institutional theory. The Integrity of the Judge is a significant new work for legal theorists and philosophers, as well as scholars of legal and judicial ethics.
A New Aristocracy
In "A New Aristocracy," Alice E. Bartlett navigates the intricate dynamics of modern power structures, exploring the emergence of a new elite class within the context of contemporary society. Through a compelling blend of critical analysis and vivid prose, Bartlett examines how socio-economic trends, technology, and cultural shifts contribute to the formation of this new aristocracy. The book stands as a significant contribution to discussions surrounding class stratification, intricately woven within the strands of neoliberalism and globalization, while reflecting elements of critical theory that question the fabric of power and privilege in today's world. Alice E. Bartlett is a distinguish...
