ABSTRACT
This final chapter shifts the focus to transitional justice – an area of scholarship that has given little attention to the concept of resilience. Demonstrating that the book’s approach to resilience has wider significance and implications for transitional justice, this chapter argues the case for developing the field in new social-ecological directions. It specifically explores how the three core elements of the book’s connectivity framework themselves translate into social-ecological ideas relevant for transitional justice theory and practice. To do so, it links the three core components of the framework – broken and ruptured connectivities, supportive and sustaining connectivities and new connectivities – to the concepts, respectively, of harm and relationality, adaptive capacity and mutuality.
