Genocide and war crimes are increasingly the focus of scholarly and
activist attention. Much controversy exists over how, precisely,
these grim phenomena should be defined and conceptualized.
Genocide, War Crimes & the West tackles this controversy, and
clarifies our understanding of an important but under-researched
dimension: the involvement of the US and other liberal democracies
in actions that are conventionally depicted as the exclusive
province of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.
Many of the authors are eminent scholars and/or renowned activists;
in most cases, their contributions are specifically written for
this volume. In the opening and closing sections of the book,
analytical issues are considered, including questions of
responsibility for genocide and war crimes, and institutional
responses at both the domestic and international levels. The
central section is devoted to an unprecedentedly broad range of
original case studies of western involvement, or alleged
involvement, in war crimes and genocide.
At a moment in history when terrorism has become a near universal
focus of public attention, this volume makes clear why the West -
as a result of both its historical legacy and contemporary actions
- so often excites widespread resentment and opposition throughout
the rest of the world.
