Community Drivers Influencing the Effectiveness of Transitional Justice

本研究探讨了移民和以前流离失所的社区如何评价过渡时期司法的有效性。过渡司法项目帮助社区重建、改革和修复法律的和非法律的关系和系统。本研究调查土地附加物和工作关系是否以及如何对当地社区评价过渡时期司法至关重要。这项研究很重要，因为过渡时期司法是社区发展的一个组成部分，对维持有效的社区关系和地方政府基础设施至关重要。本项目使用种植园作为农业用地和劳动力生产的网站，调查为什么土地附着和工作关系是至关重要的过渡司法的社区评价。在这样做的过程中，它补充了关于过渡时期司法在发展部门内的有效性的现有数据，以提高这些方案提供司法的能力。研究结果将引起发展行为者、捐助者、立法者和政策制定者的兴趣，他们的目标是了解过渡时期司法方案的长期影响。该项目还为研究生和本科生提供严格的科学数据收集和分析方法的培训。研究人员将研究土地使用，劳动实践以及语言和少数民族之间的生活关系，并将使用定性研究方法收集数据，包括参与者观察，人种学访谈，档案研究和社区绘图。将与当地社区进行访谈，以研究农业劳动和居住的经验是否以及如何影响过渡时期司法方案的结果。参与者的观察将提供数据，说明地方社区如何使用和评价土地，以及在过渡时期司法方案拟订结束后，他们开展了哪些工作，以获得社会和经济安全感。社区绘图和档案研究将提供实质性证据，证明过渡时期司法方案的有效性，以及哪些成果（如果有的话）使当地社区受益。更广泛的研究成果将支持过渡时期司法，农业经济部门，土地使用和工作关系的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This research examines how migrant and formerly displaced communities evaluate the effectiveness of transitional justice. Transitional justice programs help communities rebuild, reform, and repair legal and non-legal relationships and systems. This research investigates if and how land attachments and work relations are critical to local community evaluations of transitional justice. This research is important because transitional justice is an integral feature of community development and critical to maintaining effective community relations and local government infrastructures. This project uses the plantation as site of agricultural land and labor production to investigate why land attachment and work relations are critical to community evaluations of transitional justice. In doing so, it complements available data on the effectiveness of transitional justice within the development sector in order to improve the capacities of these programs to provide justice. Research findings will interest development actors, donors, lawmakers, and policymakers who aim to understand transitional justice programming's long-term effects. The project also provides training for graduate and undergraduate students in methods of rigorous, scientific data collection and analysis.The researcher will examine land use, labor practices, and life relations among linguistic and ethnic minorities and will gather data using qualitative research methods, including participant observation, ethnographic interviews, archival research, and community mapping. Interviews will be conducted with local communities to study if and how prior experiences with agricultural labor and residence influence transitional justice programming outcomes. Participant observation will provide data on how local communities use and value land and what kinds of work they perform to feel socially and economically secure after transitional justice programming concludes. Community mapping and archival research will provide material evidence of transitional justice programming's effectiveness and what outcomes, if any, benefitted local communities. The broader research findings will support studies of transitional justice, the agricultural economic sector, land use, and work relations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
