Summary:

This collection of ten essays examines international criminal justice along lines of historical development, balancing interests, conflicting regulatory forces and regulatory pluralism, authority and legitimacy, conceptual and institutional dichotomies, and global governance. They seek to answer a two-fold-question: where has international criminal justice come from and where is it going? The collection is divided into two parts with the first focusing on issues of legal vs. social accountability in international criminal justice, and the second developing themes of achieving justice beyond legal procedures as a paradigm for global governance. Some specific contributions consider the limitations of the liability paradigm, victim expectations toward justice in post-conflict societies, biopolitics, and global governance through criminalization. The contributors are mostly distinguished academics teaching criminology, international criminal justice and law in the UK. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
