Surviving Genocide
Making and Unmaking Nations
Why do some wars escalate into genocidal violence while apparently similar conflicts do not? In recent years, scholars have focused attention on explaining the nature and etiology of genocides and have shown that most occur either during or soon after some form of organized group violence such as a war, revolution, or insurgency. By their very nature wars tend to create conditions conducive to the development of genocidal practices and policies. …

Transitional Justice and the Legacy of Nuremberg
It's been over 70 years since the Nuremberg trials helped establish the primacy of legal mechanisms to deal with international human rights abuses, especially for genocide. Since then, we have seen a proliferation of courts and tribunals focused on bringing to justice perpetrators of genocide. In this paper, we critically examine the ways in which Nuremberg shaped and influenced these responses to genocide and to our understanding of the nature o…
The Magnitude of Genocide by Colin Tatz and Winton Higgins
This book defines genocide, distinguishing it from mass murder, war crimes, and other atrocities; allows readers to grasp the magnitude of the crime of genocide across time and throughout human civilization; and facilitates an understanding of new and potential cases of genocide as they occur. \n \nRecently, the topic of intervention against genocide has received attention in global politics and the national political discourse of major countries…
Borderlands, Climate Change, and the Genocidal Impulse
The focus of this paper is on tracing and exploring some of the implications of climate change for various types of conflict with a particular emphasis on genocide and with specific reference to borderland regions. This paper examines some of the ways in which climate induced stresses may contribute to the development of conflict over resources and borders, and persecutory ideologies and practices against groups and populations defined as dangero…
Gary Clayton Anderson. Ethnic Cleansing and the Indian
The term “ethnic cleansing” first came into widespread usage during the violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the early 1990s. As the former Yugoslavia collapsed in the aftermath of the Cold War and various ethnic populations sought independence, paramilitary groups sought to remove different ethnicities from the territory they controlled through intimidation, terror, mass murder, mass rape, and forced dispossession and exile. “Ethnic cleansing” beca…
Native America and the Question of Genocide
Did Native Americans suffer genocide? This controversial question lies at the heart of Native America and the Question of Genocide. After reviewing the various meanings of the word genocide, author Alex Alvarez examines a range of well-known examples, such as the Sand Creek Massacre and the Long Walk of the Navajo, to determine where genocide occurred and where it did not. The book explores the destructive beliefs of the European settlers and the…

Vocabularies of Legitimation
This paper argues that while criminal forms of homicide have been the focus of extant research, little attention has been given to normative forms of killing. We argue that this omission is unfortunate and precludes a complete understanding of the contexts and consequences of killing. In this paper, we refer to three metaphors that are called into play when legitimizing certain forms of killing: Differential Life Value, Conservatism, and Justific…
Reflections on the Mass Atrocity Response Operations Project
As we become evermore aware of the costs and consequences of genocide and various other human rights abuses, the recognition of the need for more effective prevention and intervention strategies also becomes evermore clear.All too often when outbreaks of violence have occurred, the international community has appeared powerless to prevent it and absolutely ineffective when taking steps to stop the violence and the killing.Perhaps the worst contem…
Genocidal Crimes
Genocide has emerged as one of the leading problems of the twentieth century. No corner of the world seems immune from this form of collective violence. While many individuals are familiar with the term, few people have a clear understanding of what genocide is and how it is carried out. This book clearly discusses the concept of genocide and dispels the widely held misconceptions about how these crimes occur and the mechanisms necessary for its …

Policing and Human Rights in the Post‐Holocaust 21st Century
In recent years, violations of human rights law have increasingly been perceived in a new light as perpetrators of war crimes and genocide are more often held accountable for their crimes. Influenced by precedents set at the Nuremberg trials, the development of International Criminal Tribunals, and by the recent approval of the International Criminal Court, law enforcement officials are under increasing pressure to identify and arrest human right…
