"This book has a distinctive focus: the role of the executive in transitional justice. The aim is to interrogate executive practices of forward-looking peacemaking over decades of U.S. history. The issues range across constitutionalism, foreign affairs, and international law-with threads throughout administrations. How presidents addressed these issues created presidential practices which end up informing constitutional law of the executive as well as offering normative principles guiding international law. Ranging from Washington's initial foreign interactions, to Wilson's involvement in the Treaty of Versailles, and as recently as Obama's administration; the book highlights the role the executive has played in the transitional periods of history. Through the lens of modern international law, this book highlights how these executives helped to shape the world we live in today"--
