Oxford Univ. Press starts Journal on Transitional Justice.

Oxford University Press (Cary, NC) has begun the publication of the "International Journal of Transitional Justice," a new quarterly journal that carries articles and information in the field of transitional justice, including the study of those strategies employed by states and international institutions to deal with human rights abuses and to effect social reconstruction after widespread violence. An annual print/online subscription costs $249 for institutions with a print-only subscription available for $236. An annual print subscription for individuals costs $89.

Oxford said the journal is designed to be a "central site" from which to house and build upon the range of research and writing currently available in the field. It is written to span the gap between practitioners and scholars, and facilitate interaction across the range of disciplines involved in the filed of transitional justice.

Content includes coverage of topics such as truth commissions, universal jurisdiction, post-conflict social reconciliation, victim and perpetrator studies, international and domestic prosecutions, institutional transformation, vetting, memorialization, reparations ad ex-combatant reintegration.

Initial issues include articles on women and reparations, sexual violence, the International tribunal in Yugoslavia, moral accountability, the reintegration of former combatants in Columbia, local approaches to justice and reconciliation, geographies of crime and justice, transitional justice in ongoing conflicts, amnesties, transitional justice in Liberia, and models for dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Oxford University Press publishes over 25 other legal and law-related journals including titles such as "American Law and Economics Review," "Capital Markets Law Journal" and "International Journal of Law and Information Technology."
