过渡时期司法常常将公民社会的概念简化为人权非政府组织，并且缺乏对公民社会在过渡时期司法进程中所发挥作用的严格概念化。它在很大程度上忽视了作为政治行动者的社会运动，这些运动推动了世界各地的民主化，并且可以被认为是过渡正义话语创建的组成部分。虽然理论和实践中的转型正义仍然关注传统的公民社会、机构和国家，但最近的转型凸显出变革是由一系列不同的参与者驱动的，通常使用与社会运动模式和其他形式的集体行动相关的组织模式和行动手段。因此，我们创造了“新”公民社会一词，与阿拉伯之春和南欧紧缩引发的抗议活动等事件联系在一起，认为它为理解转型中的变革和正义提供了新的模式。我们努力概念化公民社会在塑造过渡正义中可以发挥的作用，并使用“新”公民社会框架来理解这些参与者如何积极对抗主流社会、政治和过渡范式，并为它们提供替代方案。 “新的”公民社会行动者重新思考如何理解转型中的正义和权利，并为构成转型政治新形式的替代方案建模。
Transitional justice has often reduced conceptions of civil society to human rights NGOs, and lacks a rigorous conceptualisation of the role that civil society plays in transitional justice processes. It largely ignores as political actors the social movements that have driven democratisation in various parts of the world and can be credited as integral to the creation of the discourse of transitional justice. While transitional justice in theory and practice remains focused on traditional civil society, institutions and the state, recent transitions highlight that change is driven by a range of different actors, often using modes of organisation and repertoires of action linked to social movement modalities and other forms of collective action. As such we coin the term ‘new’ civil society, associated with events such as the Arab Spring and austerity-led protests in Southern Europe, to argue that it provides new models for understanding change and justice in transition. An effort is made to conceptualise the roles civil society can play in shaping transitional justice and the ‘new’ civil society framework is used to understand how such actors actively contest mainstream social, political and transitional paradigms, and model alternatives to them. ‘New’ civil society actors rethink how justice and rights are understood in transition, and model alternatives that constitute new forms of transitional politics.
