An introduction to a collection can be a great way into an area and that’s the case with Peer Zumbansen and Ruth Buchanan‘s, “Approximating Law and Development, Human Rights and Transitional Justice“.  The chapter is the introduction to their edited collection, Law in Transition:  Human Rights, Development and Transitional Justice.  The volume is designed to “intervene at the cross-section” of the three fields.  It does not make an effort to survey the now extensive work in each of the fields, but instead engages with the rapidly evolving discourses and questions of each and pushes at the places where the fields intersect, querying the risks presented by their convergence and paying attention to the new questions that emerge.
