Abstract

To date, scholarship on agonism has mainly focussed on theoretical development and conceptual refinement. In keeping with the aims of this special issue, this article examines how agonism can be built into the design of peace processes. It asks whether agonistic principles are included in transitional justice mechanisms. To answer this question it develops five key indicators of agonism and creates a new data set providing a global overview of how agonism has been included in transitional justice provisions in over 630 peace agreements between 1990 and 2018. The findings show that some commitment to agonism is observed across a significant number of these agreements. The results also provide initial suggestions as to the distribution of agonistic transitional justice across dimensions of transitional justice and different peace agreements. Finally, the analysis indicates that agonistic transitional justice is frequently observed alongside provisions for mainstream transitional justice, underlining the need for further research that focuses on the implementation of these provisions in order to ascertain whether and how these different approaches operate in concert.

摘要

迄今为止，关于激动的研究主要集中在理论发展和概念改进上。为了与本期特刊的目标保持一致，本文探讨了如何将激动情绪融入和平进程的设计中。它询问竞争性原则是否包含在过渡司法机制中。为了回答这个问题，它开发了五个关键指标，并创建了一个新的数据集，提供了一个全球概览，概述了 1990 年至 2018 年间 630 多项和平协议的过渡时期司法条款中的过渡性司法条款。调查结果表明，对激动的一些承诺是在大量此类协议中观察到。结果还为在过渡司法和不同和平协议的各个维度上分配竞争性过渡司法提供了初步建议。最后，
