Описание: Within sociology and criminology the dominant view is that genocide and other mass atrocities are committed by technologically-lobotomized perpetrators. Somehow the process of rationalization is believed to have transformed these people from emotionally healthy people into hollow soulless shells of human beings or zombies.

Описание: How do mass atrocities end? This book reveals the processes, decisions, and factors that influence the decline of mass violence in case studies from Burundi, Guatemala, Indonesia, Sudan, Bosnia, and Iraq.
Events of the last decade demand new approaches to atrocity prevention that are adaptable, innovative and independent of a state-centered doctrine. With the aim of reducing risk factors such as civil war, Ackerman and Merriman argue for a new normative framework called The Right to Assist (RtoA), which would strengthen international coordination and support for nonviolent civil resistance campaigns demanding rights, freedom and justice against non-democratic rule.
RtoA would:
1. engage a wide range of stakeholders such as NGOs, states, multilateral institutions and others;
2. bolster various factors of resilience against state fragility; and
3. incentivize opposition groups to sustain commitment to nonviolent strategies of change.
The adoption of this doctrine can reduce the probability of violent conflict that significantly heightens atrocity risk, while increasing the prospects for constructive human development.

Описание: The volume examines historical cases to understand the general causes and process of mass violence and genocide and also engages with on-going genocidal crises including Darfur and Syria, as well as other forms of related violence such as terrorism and civil conflict.
Описание: This book seeks to reimagine why and how to confront mass atrocities in world politics. Drawing on Hannah Arendt`s conception of evil, it interprets and understands mass atrocities as `evil` in an `Arendtian` sense, that is, as crimes against human plurality and, thus, crimes against humanity itself.

Описание: The twentieth century has been labelled the `century of genocide`, and according to estimates, more than 250 million civilians were victims of genocide and mass atrocities during this period. This book provides one of the first regional perspectives on mass atrocities in Asia, by exploring the issue through two central themes.
Описание: The book ambitiously weaves together history and politics to explain all of the major situations where mass atrocities have occurred, or been prevented, over the 15 years since R2P was adopted at the 2005 UN World Summit.
Описание: Humanity at its Worst is not a handbook for prevention but rather a research driven summary of one of the most disturbing features of the 20th and 21st centuries. Its intent is to provide a basis for understanding of these incomprehensible crimes against humanity. The catalogue is large, disturbing, and troublesome. It is dedicated entirely to assisting readers understand the circumstances of people across the world who must contend with these extreme inhuman actions. Each chapter examines numerous factors including the conditions of the victims, the number of such incidents, the loss of lives, the conditions of women, and children past records of major incidents of this kind. The accounts of genocides examine the differing interpretations of genocide from legal viewpoints, as well as analysing the influence of race, ethnicity, nationalism, and gender. The book is divided into three main sections: Part One clarifies fundamental terms such genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, mass murder, crimes of aggression, international criminal law, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, The Foundation of Genocide Convention, and lessons from 20th century genocide. Part Two examines the 20th century genocides; Nazi Holocaust; Armenian Holocaust; Holodomor Ukraine; Cambodia, Congo, Sudan, Ruwanda, Burundi; Ruwandan Genocide; Yugoslavia; Kurdish, the 21st century genocides, Darfur; Iraq; 2006 Lebanon war; Baluchistan; 2009 Sri Lanka; Civil war in Syria 2011 to today; Rohingya; Yazidis ethnic and religious cleansing; Christian prosecutions; Boko Haram; Congo; ISIS war crimes; Yemen; Libya civil war. Part Three tackles Terrorism, Failed States, and UN Action to end violations of Human Rights.
Описание: Alongside other types of mass atrocities, genocide has received extensive scholarly, policy, and practitioner attention. Missing, however, is the contribution of economists to better understand and prevent such crimes. This edited collection by 41 accomplished scholars examines economic aspects of genocides, other mass atrocities, and their prevention. Chapters include numerous case studies (e.g., California's Yana people, Australia's Aborigines peoples, Stalin's killing of Ukrainians, Belarus, the Holocaust, Rwanda, DR Congo, Indonesia, Pakistan, Colombia, Mexico's drug wars, and the targeting of suspects during the Vietnam war), probing literature reviews, and completely novel work based on extraordinary country-specific datasets. Also included are chapters on the demographic, gendered, and economic class nature of genocide. Replete with research- and policy-relevant findings, new insights are derived from behavioral economics, law and economics, political economy, macroeconomic modeling, microeconomics, development economics, industrial organization, identity economics, and other fields. Analytical approaches include constrained optimization theory, game theory, and sophisticated statistical work in data-mining, econometrics, and forecasting. A foremost finding of the book concerns atrocity architects' purposeful, strategic use of violence, often manipulating nonrational proclivities among ordinary people to sway their participation in mass murder. Relatively understudied in the literature, the book also analyzes the options of victims before, during, and after mass violence. Further, the book shows how well-intended prevention efforts can backfire and increase violence, how wrong post-genocide design can entrench vested interests to reinforce exclusion of vulnerable peoples, and how businesses can become complicit in genocide. In addition to the necessity of healthy opportunities in employment, education, and key sectors in prevention work, the book shows why new genocide prevention laws and institutions must be based on reformulated incentives that consider insights from law and economics, behavioral economics, and collective action economics.
