Vanspauwen, Kris and Savage, Tyrone (2008). The conflict in the DR Congo: a story of failed transitions and interlocking conflicts In Ivo Aertsen, Jana Arsovska, Holger-C. Rohne, Marta Valinas, and Kris Vanspauwen ed., Restoring Justice after Large-scale Violent Conflicts. Devon, UK: Willan Publishing. Pp. 323-35.

"This introduction unpacks the traumatised history of the DRC, highlighting the patterns of coercive rule, failed transition, domestic decay and interconnected conflicts. It thus sets the parameters for the discussions in the following chapters on formal and informal ways of pursing justice amid the peace that has slowly unfolded since 2002." (abstract)
