CLOSING THE BOOKS: TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE (2163 words) |
 | Elster’s methodology is foreshadowed in his earlier work, but the central methodological point in CLOSING THE BOOKS is to understand “justice” as it exists in the decision-making criteria of those asserting authority. |
 | Elster offers some calculations as to compensation to loyalists, but it is not clear whether the compensation came from the Crown to those who had stayed loyal or from the United States for property lost. |
 | Elster says that “As there was no serious effort to carry out either transitional justice or a transition to democracy in a very meaningful sense, I shall not include the creation of the Weimar Republic among my cases here” (p.48.) That seems intellectually unsatisfactory. |
