Transitional democracies navigate historical legacies by confronting past injustices while aiming to create a more inclusive political landscape. This often involves truth commissions, reparations, and public dialogues that acknowledge previous regimes' wrongdoings. By addressing historical grievances, transitional democracies can foster national reconciliation and build trust in new institutions. Additionally, embracing democratic values and promoting civic education can help citizens engage meaningfully with their political environment, ultimately facilitating successful transitions to stable and inclusive governance.
