This course considers the history of pardons and amnesty, from Royal acts of clemency in early modern Europe to contemporary Truth and Reconciliation commissions. Cases will draw from Europe, the U.S., Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. Readings will engage with a variety of themes while centering on questions concerning the relation between state and citizen.
