Short description:
The dissertation explores critically the potential and the limits of the restorative justice discourse in addressing conflicts in intercultural contexts in Europe, as an alternative discourse on both justice and security. The exploration revolves around two main questions: 1. How can we conceptualise the application of restorative justice at a range of community-based and social conflicts?; 2. How can restorative justice challenge the current security discourses, especially in intercultural contexts? The dissertation takes place in the framework of an action research project (ALTERNATIVE) funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme, and coordinated by the Leuven Institute of Criminology, KU Leuven.
