Genocide and International Relations

Beschreibung

Genocide can be assumed to be a problem of dictatorial regimes. This book shows that targeted violence against population groups is a much larger problem, that patterns of genocide depend on international contexts, and that genocide in the modern world can be stimulated as well as constrained by global change.
