'Over recent years, the study of transitional justice in newly democratic countries has turned towards much more comprehensive accounts of the ensemble of measures and controversies that societies can adopt to deal with a repressive past. Lavinia Stan's book is a fine example of this turn in the discipline, as she attempts to systematise the broad range of issues and policies that Romania has engaged with in its past two decades of democratic change.' Vello Pettai, East European Politics
