Reviews

'War and violence are material processes that have material effects; they not only kill and maim but destroy everyday livelihoods and human dignity with it. Daniela Lai's book is a tour de force connecting critical political economy analysis with theories of transitional justice, in so doing revealing the foundations for sustainable peace.' Jacqui True, Professor of Politics and International Relations, Monash University 'The disillusionment in former Yugoslav territories with transition out of socialism and into a faux capitalist utopia is brilliantly analysed in Daniela Lai's study of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moving beyond concepts of the formal law, her work captures the essence of socio-economic justice and material existence as experienced by citizens. For over twenty years international and local elites in Bosnia and Herzegovina have narrowly conceived justice or recast it in the service of unruly capital accumulation. Lai's research will attract readers for its rich addition to studies of transition, social mobilisation and political economies of war and peace.' Michael Pugh, Professor Emeritus, University of Bradford
