CRIMINAL LAW REFORM AND TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE
INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
Series Editors:
Mark Findlay, Institute of Criminology, University of Sydney, Australia Ralph Henham, Nottingham Law School, Nottingham Trent University, UK
This series explores the new and rapidly developing field of international and comparative criminal justice and engages with its most important emerging themes and debates. It focuses on three interrelated aspects of scholarship which go to the root of understanding the nature and significance of international criminal justice in the broader context of globalization and global governance. These include: the theoretical and methodological problems posed by the development of international and comparative criminal justice; comparative contextual analysis; the reciprocal relationship between comparative and international criminal justice and contributions which endeavor to build understandings of global justice on foundations of comparative contextual analysis.
