Abstract
It is the object of the contributors to this volume to compare how Southern European democracies have reacted to past authoritarian regimes. This introduction has three sections. In the first we seek to frame the concepts of authoritarian legacies, transitional justice and the politics of the past as they are applied here. In the second we analyse the forms of transitional justice that were present during the processes of democratisation in Southern Europe, while the third section presents an outline of the volume and of the contributions made by its authors.

This volume is the result of a research project undertaken at the University of Lisbon’s Institute of Social Science (ICS), funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (grant PTDC/CPO/66001/2006). The first preparatory meeting, devoted to a discussion of the research design, brought all of the collaborators to the ICS in October 2008. We are most grateful to our colleagues and friends Nancy Bermeo and Stein Larsen who helped us with their comments and suggestions.
