| Summary/Abstract |
This paper examines the effects of truth and reconciliation commissions and peace committees on popular perceptions of the judicial systems of Africa. Using data from the Afrobarometer, and conducting mixed effects quantitative analysis, we test whether or not the use of truth and reconciliation commissions (TRCs) and peace committees led to greater popular trust in the courts. We find both cross-nationally, sub-nationally, and over time, the use of TRCs has not led to greater trust in courts (as is often claimed by its advocates), but find some support for the notion that they detract from trust in the judiciary. We suggest this is because such institutions have been established to compete with existing judicial practices, rather than complement and enhance them.

| Summary/Abstract |
Given the growing salience of energy transition conflicts, policymakers need better tools to explain, prevent, and resolve them. The concept of energy justice highlights the normative direction of the energy system, and therefore, we examined the offshore wind farm siting conflict in Yeonggwang-gun, South Korea, through the lens of energy justice. In this study, we interviewed representatives of local stakeholder groups relevant to offshore wind farms and conducted text-mining analysis to extract the primary opinions of stakeholders. Through text-analysis, four primary factors were identified and discussed in relation to energy justice: gillnet fishing, consultation with the fishing village cooperative, damage by private developers, and a government-led conditional agreement. This mixed-method approach showed that the voices of fishing communities correlate with the four tenets of energy justice—distributional, procedural, recognition, and restorative justice. We discuss how recognition and restorative justice explain energy transition conflict under inadequate policy arrangements in South Korea, where little has been investigated in energy justice literature. By filling the gaps in energy transition conflict, we suggest inclusive policy strategies, revisiting the meaning and utility of participatory planning, scoping methods for Environmental and Social Impact Assessments, and just transition.

| Summary/Abstract |
The practice of forgiveness in processes of conflict resolution and post-conflict justice is confronted by two sets of serious criticisms. First, scholars and practitioners alike have questioned whether or not the fundamentally interpersonal practice of forgiveness can be readily and legitimately transposed to broader socio-political contexts. Second, questions have also been raised concerning the potential for forgiveness, particularly when associated with amnesties, to jeopardize and even circumvent the application of justice in post-conflict contexts. By contrast, supporters argue that forgiveness is not only possible but necessary in politics and, by drawing a distinction between amnesties and forgiveness, and restorative and retributive forms of justice, that forgiveness contributes to the achievement of restorative justice. By analysing the role that forgiveness is playing in bringing almost two decades of conflict between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Ugandan government to an end, this article demonstrates that a disjuncture exists between the theoretical treatment of forgiveness and the practice of political forgiveness. That is, it demonstrates, contrary to arguments made by both its supporters and critics, that political forgiveness, even when conceived in conjunction with amnesties, may contribute to both restorative and retributive forms of justice.

| Summary/Abstract |
In peace-building and transitional justice literature economic restoration is considered central to sustainable peace in post-conflict societies. However, it is also widely recognised that many post-conflict states cannot afford mechanisms to provide restoration. Not only are many such states poor to begin with, but violent conflict further degrades their economic capacity. As a result, in their need to provide jobs, generate tax revenues, spur development and promote sustainable peace, many post-conflict states turn to alternative processes of economic restoration. This paper examines the potential for foreign direct investment (FDI) to serve as one alternative means by which to provide economic restoration in post-conflict states. Presenting findings from six months of fieldwork evaluating one such project in rural Sierra Leone, the paper describes how local people experience such projects and explores whether employment and land-lease payments can provide experiences of economic restoration so far unforthcoming from the state.
