Different Paths of Transitional Justice in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland.

This article deals with issues of transitional justice in selected Central European countries. The relationship between the mode of democratic transition and the mechanisms and pace of transitional justice processes is discussed.

The authors conclude that the mode of democratic transition is not as important as other political factors, such as the presence or absence of leftist parties in the government. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
