Vetting—the process by which abusive or corrupt employees are excluded from public office—is often practiced in post-conflict societies, yet it remains one of the least studied aspects of transitional justice. In Justice as Prevention: Vetting Public Employees in Transitional Societies, a copublication of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) and the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), editors Alexander Mayer-Rieckh and Pablo de Greiff have assembled a collection of essays systematically exploring vetting practices in a variety of countries and contexts.

The second volume of the International Center for Transitional Justice’s Advancing Transitional Justice Series.
