DESCRIPTION:Abstract: [This abstract comes from my work Transformative The
 ory in Transitional and Criminal Justice.] This paper examines the origin 
 and the applicability of transformative theory of justice in the area of t
 ransitional justice and criminal justice. First\, it distinguishes transfo
 rmative theory as a normative theory derived from the concept of democrati
 zation\; and as an empirical grounded theory derived from the perception a
 bout former adversaries. Second\, it focuses on the latter and contrasts t
 he theory to other theories\, namely retributive\, procedural and restorat
 ive theories of justice. Third\, it considers cross-cultural applicability
  of the theory in Western and Asian societies. The paper is a theoretical 
 reflection of empirical research conducted in Eastern Europe\, South Afric
 a\, South Korea and other countries.  \n\nBio: Roman David is a professor 
 at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. His experience of a communist regime a
 nd its collapse shaped his interest in the study of democracy and totalita
 rianism\, transitional justice and political cultures of hybrid regimes.  
 He is the author of Lustration and Transitional Justice(University of Penn
 sylvania Press\, 2011)\, which conceptualizes exclusive\, inclusive and re
 conciliatory personnel systems and which received the Concept Analysis Awa
 rd by IPSA in 2012. In Communists and Their Victims (University of Pennsyl
 vania Press\, 2018)\, he used surveys\, survey experiments and qualitative
  methods to examine the impact of justice on victims\, perpetrators and so
 ciety\; and developed a transformative theory of justice. In Liberalism an
 d Democracy in Myanmar(Oxford University Press\, 2018\, with I. Holliday)\
 , he proposed the concept of limited liberalism to explain various puzzles
  of political culture in democratizing countries. His major articles appea
 red in the American Journal of Sociology\, Political Psychology\, Journal 
 of Conflict Resolution\, and other indexed journals. He can be contacted a
