Moving from a state of war or violent conflict will require a transformation, but there are no guarantees that transformations automatically lead to peace, sustainability, and justice. This review focuses on the temporary phase when a system is in limbo between the existing, dominant state and a new alternative state. We combine insights from a resilience approach to transformations with peacebuilding and transformative justice studies to focus on three roles that hybrid approaches to transformative and transitional justice may play in this phase, including 1) addressing ‘backlash’ dynamics, 2) strengthening the capacities needed to navigate cross-scale dynamics of conflict, and 3) responding to additional shocks, crises, and disturbances beyond the primary conflicts. Together, these findings advance the theoretical foundations for understanding peacebuilding as a transformative change process.

摆脱战争或暴力冲突状态需要转型，但不能保证转型会自动带来和平、可持续发展和正义。本次审查重点关注系统处于现有主导状态和新替代状态之间的临时阶段。我们将变革韧性方法与建设和平和变革性司法研究相结合，重点关注变革性和转型性司法混合方法在此阶段可能发挥的三种作用，包括 1) 解决“强烈反对”动态，2) 加强实现变革所需的能力。驾驭冲突的跨尺度动态，3) 应对主要冲突之外的额外冲击、危机和骚乱。这些发现共同推进了将建设和平理解为变革过程的理论基础。
