Our findings illustrate the need for the aid industry to recognize the inter-linked nature of activities undertaken after violent conflict, and how building peace and reconciliation should best be regarded as a package guided by each interlinking group.

However, at the same time, we can see that there is a large level of variability from one neighborhood to another within Mostar, meaning that various factors such as ethnicity, religion, location and war experiences can influence conflict preferences.

We find that 30 years after the war, everyday people in Mostar prioritize development assistance with some integration of dialogue or conflict resolution over transitional, retributive or restorative justice mechanisms.

All of the contributions in the symposium attend to Merry’s concerns related to commensuration and the tendency for policy makers to want to universalize and generalize social life as they try to professionalize human rights, humanitarianism and peacebuilding, or conflict response broadly defined.

The symposium contributions fall generally into two broad areas: questions related to commensurability in measurement and questions related to commensurability in the law more broadly.

This features several insightful contributions to the literature on the conceptualization and measurement of justice. They reflect the disciplinary and thematic breadth that spanned Sally Engle Merry’s work, from political science to anthropology and from human rights to peace and conflict studies.
