Settling Accounts - Violence, Justice and Accountability in Postsocialist Europe - Paperback - 1997

Drawing from his ethnographic work in the former East Germany and with select comparisons to EastCentral European states, the author examines the construction of categories of criminality. He argues against the claims that economic growth, liberal democracy, or acts of reconciliation are means to legitimate the transformed East bloc states.
