"Um dos aspectos mais interessantes de sua elaboração é chamar a atenção para um ponto aparentemente óbvio, porém pouco problematizado: qual é, afinal, o vínculo entre o conceito de ´justiça de transição´ e aquilo que, anos atrás, a ciência política acadêmica chamou de ´transição´, isto é, os processos de passagem de regimes autoritários para regimes democráticos, ocorridos mais ou menos a partir de meados dos anos 1970 em diversas partes do mundo, inclusive na América Latina e no Brasil?"...
