This PhD thesis analyses resistances to the state-sanctioned transitional justice process in Cambodia, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). This PhD research is embedded within critical approaches to transitional justice. In this scholarship, transitional justice is analysed as a political process of negotiations between different actors; as such, it is necessarily contested. Such an approach to transitional justice enables to see resistances to transitional justice not as deviant but as a legitimate object of enquiry. This PhD thesis is based on an empirical approach with a strong emphasis on qualitative fieldwork.
