本文探讨了当代国际社会在非转型、受冲突影响的国家促进转型正义（TJ）的一个关键挑战：“实施差距”，即政策是设计和资助的，但既没有颁布也没有实施。基于乌干达长期定性实地调查的结果表明，实施差距是由技术官僚捐助方法和半独裁政权中的国内精英政治操纵共同构成的。两者之间的相互作用产生了两种形式的政治诡计：“同构模仿”和“计算停滞”，从而阻碍了实质性的TJ改革的出现。研究结果与广泛的非转型环境相关，在这些环境中，TJ 由国际捐助者推动，并对其声称的在大规模侵犯人权事件后促进或恢复公民对政治制度信任的潜力具有重要影响。
This article explores a key challenge in contemporary international efforts to promote transitional justice (TJ) in nontransitioning, conflict-affected states: the ‘implementation gap,’ in which policies are designed and funded but neither enacted nor implemented. Findings based on long-term qualitative fieldwork in Uganda indicate the implementation gap is co-constituted by technocratic donor approaches and domestic elite political maneuvering in a semi-authoritarian regime. The interaction between the two produces two forms of political artifice: ‘isomorphic mimicry’ and ‘calculated stasis,’ which stall the emergence of substantive TJ reform. Findings are relevant to the wide range of nontransitioning contexts where TJ is promoted by international donors and have important implications for its claimed potential to catalyze or restore civic trust in political systems in the aftermath of massive human rights violations.
