Opis

No one knows when Korean unification will take place. Experts predict that it will take decades, if not more, to overcome the huge economic, social, and political divide between the two Koreas. However, if and when unification occurs, transitional justice will be a crucial part of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. The authors of this book draw on real-world experience, comparative case studies, and theoretical knowledge to examine potential ways transitional justice might unfold. Although there are an overwhelming number of uncertainties, this book presents many of the factors that will be at play during the transition period. The authors find that, among other factors, social reconciliation, education, memorialization, and establishment of the rule of law will be a fundamental part of rebuilding society in a unified Korea.
