Research Currently in Progess
Golob, S.(n.d.). The Long Arm of the Law: Memory, Democracy, and the Legacy of Amnesty in Spain . In Progress.
Book Manuscript in progress. Develops the concept of "hegemonic memory regime" in the context of countries employing amnesty as their transitional justice mechanism, grappling with violent pasts as they manage the impunity-unity dilemma of democratization. The argument is illustrated in the case of Spain, with chapters profiling four key amnesty laws that have shaped Spain's own "memory wars" and its resistance to international norms that push back against a veneration of amnesty.
Golob, S.(n.d.). The Past Below Earth: Exhumations and Memory Politics in Contemporary Spain in Transnational and Comparative Perspective. In Progress.
"El pasado bajo tierra: Exhumaciones y políticas de la memoria en la España contemporánea en perspectiva transnacional y comparada." Member of interdisciplinary research team directed by Dr. Francisco Ferrándiz, Center for Humanistic and Social Sciences (CCHS), Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
