      abstract = {This book critically examines transitional justice in  Mexico. It explores how the Mexican democratic regime dealt  with the grave human rights violations perpetrated by  security forces during the authoritarian era (1929-2000)  through a Special Prosecutors Office. It offers a complete  account of the diverse factors that facilitated the  emergence (and policing) of Mexico's transitional justice  process. Whilst transitional justice should contribute to  the advancement of liberal democracy and, consequently,  generate the following benefits: truth, justice, political  reconciliation, peace, this book argues that Mexico is a  case of transitional injustice. It is an example of how in  some societies transitional justice mechanisms are  intentionally implemented in ways that, instead of  generating justice, produce impunity. It seems to make  important contributions to some of the broader debates  addressed by scholars on transitional justice and give them  reason to re-examine transitional justice processes in  other countries in a new light.
