Description	The ﬁeld of transitional justice has expanded signiﬁcantly in recent years. Transitional justice is no longer exclusively, or even predominantly, discussed as a matter of whether and how the State ought to deploy various tools aimed at advancing accountability, truth and victims' redress in the context of dealing with human rights violations committed by a prior authoritarian regime. Notably, the State is no longer perceived as the only actor relevant for deciding and implementing transitional justice solutions, and debates about transitional justice now take place in contexts where there has been no regime change, or the transition is not from dictatorship to democracy. This has led some commentators to speak of a 'normalisation of transi-tional justice'. This normalisation is said to materialise in an increased prevalence of institutions that pursue accountability, truth, and redress for past human rights violations. Transitional justice, it is argued, is no longer the exception, but the norm (Teitel 2003: 90-93; McEvoy 2008: 16). Teitel notes that the new millennium appears to be associated with a normalisation of transitional justice, whereby 'what was historically viewed as a legal phenomenon associated with extraordinary post-conﬂict conditions now increasingly appears to be a reﬂection of ordinary times' (Teitel 2003: 89-90).1 Book Name: Transitional Justice Theories
