State Structure and Genocide presents a theory of the universal
nature of genocide. The book explores why genocides occur in
various societies and explains the existence and persistence of
genocide in relation to how governments function. Professor Kolin
investigates how governments use violence in both the pre-genocidal
and genocidal stages. Through the use of case studies of genocide
throughout ancient and modern history, this study examines the
shift from pre-genocidal to genocidal society as the institutional
reorganization of the state. The theory presented in this book
provides evidence of how the state socializes a populace to accept
and support ever-increasing doses of violence. This normalization
of violence creates "social numbing." In addressing these, Kolin
presents a theory of how states are transformed from pre-genocidal
to genocidal stages, leading to the formation of a dual state. The
state ultimately becomes in part a genocidal state, assuming total
control as a police state, and uses violence without legal
restraint. An innovative concept, Kolin's State Structure and
Genocide will surely broaden the knowledge of political science.
