    Portée et limites du concept de réconciliation Une histoire à terminer
    in Revue d'études comparatives Est-Ouest , vol. 45, n. 3-4, Dossier: La fabrique européenne des politiques de réconciliation ,  2014 ,  21-47
    What is the scope of post-war calls for reconciliation? What does the “policy of reconciliation” advocated by authorities stipulate? It is worthwhile inquiring into a concept that turns out to be more ambivalent than at first sight. First of all, a panorama of various theoretical approaches to reconciliation is sketched that places practitioners and researchers on a continuum ranging from a minimalist approach that considers reconciliation as a mutual arrangement between former enemies to a maximalist one that defines reconciliation as a transcendental process involving truth, justice and forgiveness. Focus then shifts to EU ambitions and an explanation of how reconciliation evokes either the origin of the joint adventure or an objective to be tirelessly pursued. The third part of this article questions the premises underlying these actions.
