“…The politics of knowledge production in transitional justice has started coming under increased scrutiny, with a focus on the transfer of knowledge and norms between and within contexts, and on the North-South dynamics and inequalities that shape the global politics of knowledge in the field. Debates around the nature and use of expertise which have emerged from the literatures on knowledge production and transfer, and the norms diffusion literature, have largely discussed expertise in the hands of a select number of international, professional actors (Lefranc and Vairel, 2013;Brehm et al, 2019;Ní Aoláin, 2015;Mouralis, 2013). While the literature has emphasized the preference that the field of transitional justice shows for legalistic, technical and thus apolitical knowledge (Subotic, 2012;Lefranc and Vairel, 2013;Oomen, 2005), it continues to assume that this knowledge is held by a small number of actors who then transfer it to policy-makers and practitioners in contexts of unequal power relations.…”
