African Truth Commissions and Transitional Justice examines the functioning of truth commissions in Africa, outlining the lessons learned, the best practices, and the successes and failures of seven African truth commissions. Its introduction and conclusion then work further to place truth commissions within the growing academic field of transitional justice. The first African truth commission was convened by the despot Idi Amin for reasons unrelated to the defense of human rights, but despite this ambiguous beginning, other African truth commissions have done important work. The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission of 1996 has become the ';gold standard' for future truth commissions not only in Africa, but throughout the world: it unearthed much truth about the Apartheid era abuse of human rights and took vital first steps towards restorative justice in the Republic. Each truth commission is distinctive. However, although much has been written about South Africa's truth commissions, much less is known about the other six studied in this bookand an attentive reader will notice the suggestive patterns which emerge.

This volume tackles the slippery subject of 'meaning'.

An integrated social science view of the world This best-selling text emphasizes that social and cultural changes are the pervasive realities of our era. One of the main themes of Contemporary Society is that the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial order in the modern world is fraught with difficulties, as was the transition from an agricultural to an industrial order in an earlier era. Within this framework, we can observe the increasing fragmentation of the social order, which tends to lead people away from community and a common purpose and often invites conflict and disunity. At the same time, countervailing social forces are also at work, providing some stability, some shelter in the storm. Finally, societies are faced with the rapid and transformative power of information technology, a fact that propels separate groups of people into a global entity.Teaching & Learning Experience * Personalize Learning - MySearchLab delivers proven results in helping students succeed, provides engaging experiences that personalize learning, and comes from a trusted partner with educational expertise and a deep commitment to helping students and instructors achieve their goals. *Improve Critical Thinking - Boxed features provide topics for classroom discussion and encourage students to think like social scientists. *Engage Students - Emphasis on social and cultural change and how they impact social order. *Explore Theory - An integrated social science view of the world. *Support Instructors - Written activities and assessment in MySearchLab offer instructors supplemental materials to help their students succeed.

Lettilgængelig og humoristisk bog om kunsten at udsætte tingene.Det lyder måske selvmodsigende, men det virker: Du kan få gjort en masse ting ved at udsætte dem. Dét kalder John Perry for strukturerede overspringshandlinger, og hvis du er en person, som har oplevet at kæmpe med deadlines, som foretrækker distraktion frem for aktion, surfer på nettet i stedet for at betale regninger eller køber ind til en helt særlig fødselsdag på vej til festen, så vil denne bog ændre dit liv. Du kan nu holde opm ed at føle skyld over at udsætte ting og istedet glæde dig over alle de mange andre ting, du får udrettet. John Perry, internationalt anerkendt filosofiprofessor fra Stanford Universitetet, skrev denne bog som en overspringshandling i stedet for at rette en stor stak filosofiopgaver.
