| Summary: | One
of the debates about contemporary political philosophy is related to historical
perspective upon the Transitional Justice. This debate focuses on the
probability of historical perspective will work in the Transitional Justice
practices. In addition to this, in the evaluations concerning Transitional Justice,
recently happened events and implemented reforms are taken into account and
historical examples are not frequently referred. In the present work, by
starting from this thesis, we will scrutinize the reforms made in American
Reconstruction and Ottoman Tanzimat eras in terms of transitional justice. By
taking both eras into consideration as two cases, we sought to question the
possibility of historical perspective in the work. The work is limited to the
legal arrangements and structural reforms in the considered eras. In the
conclusion of the work, it is seen that the legal and structural reforms in
both eras, which had the characteristics of transitional period, failed. In
spite of this, it is probable to say that the taken steps related to justice formed
the basis of many constitutional and legal reforms in the future. Additionally,
these two cases demonstrate the significance of historical perspective in the
studies of transitional justice. |
