SARAH E. JANKOWITZ

Palgrave Studies in Compromise after Conflict

Series Editor John D. Brewer Queen’s University Belfast Belfast, UK Stellenbosch University Stellenbosch, South Africa

This series aims to bring together in one series scholars from around the world who are researching the dynamics of post-conflict transformation in societies emerging from communal conflict and collective violence. The series welcomes studies of particular transitional societies emerging from conflict, comparative work that is cross-national, and theoretical and conceptual contributions that focus on some of the key processes in post-conflict transformation. The series is purposely interdisciplinary and addresses the range of issues involved in compromise, reconciliation and societal healing. It focuses on interpersonal and institutional questions, and the connections between them. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14641
