Abstract
An increased focus on understanding and managing the reactions of affected populations has led to hybridity being an important part of the discussions about, and applications of, transitional justice. However, despite the presence of ‘resistance’ as an active component in theories of hybrid peace, there is very limited in-depth theoretical or empirical work on resistance to transitional justice. The content of this paper addresses this gap in two main ways. First, it asks what we can learn from theories of hybrid peace about resistance to transitional justice. Second, it proposes a particular approach to resistance which would allow for a more dynamic and ultimately more useful understanding of resistance to transitional justice, its intentions and its meanings. By drawing on empirical examples in a number of different transitional contexts, the argument presented here states that not only must we seek to understand the nature of resistance as a part of hybridity, but we must do so by analysing the relational process through which acts come to be defined as resistance.
