本文认为，转型正义领域——无论是制度方面还是学术方面——在历史上都排除了经济不平等、结构性暴力、再分配和发展等问题。它力求将概念批判与具体的制度实例相结合，以突出该领域内的理论/实践关系，并将理论主张锚定在特定的实例中。本文的第一部分简要描述了过渡时期司法根据其全球性事业的性质按时间顺序和区域进行的迭代。文章的第二部分探讨了文献和机构中经济问题的隐形性，表明排斥源于特定的模式：完全忽视这些问题，将不平等或结构性暴力视为背景背景而不是转型中的中心问题，或者将经济担忧减少到对赔偿的狭隘讨论。最后一节概述了经济隐形的三种可能成本：（1）对冲突根源的不完全理解； (2) 由于关注赔偿而无法想象结构性变化； (3) 由于未能解决不平等在冲突中的作用，可能会重新爆发暴力。
This article argues that the field of transitional justice - in both its institutional and scholarly aspects - has historically excluded issues of economic inequality, structural violence, redistribution and development. It seeks to combine a conceptual critique with concrete institutional examples in an effort both to highlight the theory/practice relationship within the field and to anchor theoretical claims in particular examples. The first part of the article briefly describes the chronological and regional iterations of transitional justice in light of its nature as a global enterprise. The second part of the article examines the constructed invisibility of economic questions in the literature and institutions, suggesting that exclusion derives from particular patterns: ignoring the issues altogether, treating inequality or structural violence as contextual background rather than central issues in transition, or reducing economic concerns to a narrowed discussion of reparations. The final section outlines three possible costs of economic invisibility: (1) an incomplete understanding of the origins of conflict; (2) an inability to imagine structural change due to a focus on reparations; and (3) the possibility of renewed violence due to a failure to address the role of inequality in conflict.
