Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the various dimensions of Central Eastern Europe closure with the communist past, and then assesses the impact of transitional justice measures in the closure with communism. Special attention is paid to the so called “lustration”, which in the view of the author performs important functions in transitions to democratic regimes, related to the reconstruction of a moral and rational community, and to the closure with the communist past. The chapter shows that the failures and controversies surrounding “lustration” were due to its radical potential of reconstruction of a moral-rational democratic community, and also to specific socio-political factors of the post-communist CEE. What specific features of CEE post-communist transitions and of lustration conducted to the recurrence of debates related to the communist past is a question that has not been addressed heretofore, despite a fairly well-developed literature on post-communist administrative justice.

Book Synopsis Transitional Justice in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union by : Lavinia Stan
Download or read book Transitional Justice in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union written by Lavinia Stan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades, the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have attempted to address the numerous human rights abuses that characterized the decades of communist rule. This book examines the main processes of transitional justice that permitted societies in those countries to come to terms with their recent past. It explores lustration, the banning of communist officials and secret political police officers and informers from post-communist politic, ordinary citizens’ access to the remaining archives compiled on them by the communist secret police, as well as trials and court proceedings launched against former communist officials and secret agents for their human rights trespasses. Individual chapters explore the progress of transitional justice in Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Slovenia and the successor states of the former Soviet Union. The chapters explain why different countries have employed different models to come to terms with their communist past; assess each country’s relative successes and failures; and probe the efficacy of country-specific legislation to attain the transitional justice goals for which it was developed. The book draws together the country cases into a comprehensive comparative analysis of the determinants of post-communist transitional justice, that will be relevant not only to scholars of post-communist transition, but also to anyone interested in transitional justice in other contexts.

Book Synopsis Lustration Legislation in Eastern Europe and Its Meaning for the Western World by : Yan Vuks
Download or read book Lustration Legislation in Eastern Europe and Its Meaning for the Western World written by Yan Vuks and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lustration policies spread widely across Eastern Europe in the early 1990's after the fall of the Communism when most of the post-Communist states of Eastern Europe employed a strategy of purging the former Communists from the state apparatus with the help of 'lustration' laws. The countries of Eastern Europe developed different approaches to lustration, and the practices adopted by Germany, Czechoslovakia and Estonia demonstrated a great degree of variety. The great influence of the lustration policy on societies of the Eastern European countries makes it necessary to rethink the very concept of lustration. The important issue of self-lustration expands the lustration practice beyond the legal sphere. Lustration should be seen not as set of legal rules, but as a mixture of legal policies adopted by the legislative bodies, and of informal practices, which were usually carried out by the population. This perception of lustration adds another dimension to lustration and expands the object of study beyond the legislation of the country. The adoption of formal lustration practices assumed a particular viewpoint about the nature of a dictatorial regime, shared by many Western media and senior officials. This viewpoint is based on the premise that an individual or a small group of individuals can seize all power and cut off the rest of the population from all participation in state politics. However, studies of denunciation letters demonstrate that a population often accepts and voluntarily collaborates in the practices of a dictatorial regime. The existence of the denunciation culture has multiple examples in Modern European history such as in Stalinist Russia or in Nazi Germany. Denunciation studies are important for redefining the concept of dictatorship. These studies show that the popular concept of dictatorship as a state of people oppressed by a ruthless dictator, aided by a small group of his followers, is erroneous. In light of those findings a more sophisticated view of dictatorship emerges, one that sees it as a precariously balanced system of relationships between contentious socioeconomic or ethnic groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... a hot subject in today's scholarship... and a groundbreaking project of vital significance to the field of cultural studies at both 'western' and 'eastern' geographical locations." -- Elwira Grossman Over the Wall/After the Fall maps a new discourse on the evolution of cultural life in Eastern Europe following the end of communism. Departing from traditional binary views of East/West, the contributors to this volume consider the countries and the peoples of the region on their own terms. Drawing on insights from cultural studies, gender theory, and postcolonial studies, this lively collection addresses gender issues and sexual politics, consumerism, high and popular culture, architecture, media, art, and theater. Among the themes of the essays are the Western pop success of Bulgarian folk choirs, the Czechs' reception of Frank Gehry's unconventional building in the center of Prague, bohemians in Lviv, and cryptographic art installations from Bratislava.

Book Synopsis Transitional Justice and the Former Soviet Union by : Cynthia M. Horne
Download or read book Transitional Justice and the Former Soviet Union written by Cynthia M. Horne and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-five years since the Soviet Union was dismantled, the countries of the former Soviet Union have faced different circumstances and responded differently to the need to redress and acknowledge the communist past and the suffering of their people. While some have adopted transitional justice and accountability measures, others have chosen to reject them; these choices have directly affected state building and societal reconciliation efforts. This is the most comprehensive account to date of post-Soviet efforts to address, distort, ignore, or recast the past through the use, manipulation, and obstruction of transitional justice measures and memory politics initiatives. Editors Cynthia M. Horne and Lavinia Stan have gathered contributions by top scholars in the field, allowing the disparate post-communist studies and transitional justice scholarly communities to come together and reflect on the past and its implications for the future of the region.

Book Synopsis The Transformation of Property Regimes and Transitional Justice in Central Eastern Europe by : Liviu Damşa
Download or read book The Transformation of Property Regimes and Transitional Justice in Central Eastern Europe written by Liviu Damşa and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the property transformations in post-communist Central Eastern Europe (CEE) and focuses on the role of restitution and privatisation in such transformations. It argues that the theorisation of 'restitution' in post-communist CEE is incomplete in the transitional justice scholarship and in the literature on correction of historical wrongs. The book also argues that, for a more complete theorisation of (post-communist) restitution, the transformations of property in post-communist societies ought to be studied in a more holistic way. The main legal vehicles used for such transformations, privatisation and restitution, should not be studied separately and in abstract, but in their reciprocal relationship, and in connection to the dimension of justice which each could achieve. Finally, the book integrates 'privatisation' in a theory of post-communist transformation of property.
