Transitional Justice - Post-Post-Soviet Space and Beyond (SZF_062)
About Study Course
Objective
To provide general knowledge of transitional justice: its objectives, mechanisms, their application; to develop the ability to analyse transitional justice processes using historical and current process experience.
Prerequisites
General knowledge of global political processes in the 20th-21st centuries.
Learning outcomes
Using the in-depth knowledge of transitional justice and its specifics in the post-post-Soviet space, students will compare different mechanisms of transitional justice, analyse the rationale of selecting them and outcomes.
Based on a literature analysis of historical and current experiences of transitional processes, students will describe transitional justice processes and their impact on current legal dilemmas, for example, in matters of shared property.
Students will choose scientific literature that corresponds to the topic of their independent work.
Students will critically evaluate ideas expressed in the scientific literature and discuss the interpretation of these ideas in peer presentations.
When preparing their independent work, students will compare and contrast the transitional justice mechanisms chosen by different countries.
By analysing interdisciplinary literature and developing independent work, students will integrate insights and methods from different disciplines (political and legal science, history), strengthening interdisciplinary research competences.
By contrasting the experiences of different countries and the models chosen, students will demonstrate their understanding of methods of comparative politics in practice.
