Andrei Gomez-Suarez

Genocide, Geopolitics and Transnational Networks (eBook, ePUB)

Con-textualising the destruction of the Unión Patriótica in Colombia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume seeks to uncover and discuss the links between genocide, geopolitics and transnational networks. By studying the destruction of the Union Patrotica (UP) in Colombia - a process usually regarded as one of the extreme by-products of the Colombian armed conflict- through the lens of genocide studies, Gomez-Suarez challenges mainstream international relations, genocide and Colombian armed conflict studies.
