Difficult reconciliation

After armed conflicts or periods of severe human rights violations in one state, as well as after wars between several states, there are few tasks that are as on the agenda as is the reconciliation; reconciliation with oneself, reconciliation with the new reality, reconciliation with your enemy. On the social plan, especially in the societies undergoing a transition from a dictatorship to democratic governance, it is important to build trust to the new authorities, and to establish the basis on which the society would find a mode to continue with living  in spite of the traumatic past.

The book contains a collection of experiences, opinions and theoretical views of experts and organizations who have participated, or immediately followed up and monitored on the inevitable process of reconciliation between people and nations after the apartheid, dictatorships, and/or grim conflicts.
