In this volume, a multidisciplinary group of scholars question the reasons behind the restrictive choices that lock us into area studies modalities instead of genuine interdisciplinary analysis by linking the traditional subject matter of transitional justicewiththerealitiesofforcedmigrationintheGlobalSouth. Nergis Canefe is Associate Professor of Politics, Public Policy, and Law at York University,Toronto,Canada.ShespecializesinthefieldsofPoliticalPhilosophy, Forced Migration Studies, and Public International Law with special focus on publicaccountability,statecriminality,andmasspoliticalviolence.
