This book offers a detailed study of the psycho-politics of
governmental manipulation, in which a vulnerable population is
disciplined by contorting their sense of self-worth. In many
conflict settings, a nation's government exerts its dominance over
a marginalized population group through laws, policies and
practices that foster stark inequality. This book shows how such
domination comes in the form of systems of humiliation orchestrated
by governmental forces. This thesis draws upon recent findings in
social psychology, conflict analysis, and political sociology, with
case studies of governmental directives, verdicts, policies,
decisions and norms that, when enforced, foster debasement,
disgrace or denigration. One case centers on the US immigration
laws that target vulnerable population groups, while another
focuses on the ethnic discrimination of the central government of
Sudan against the Sudanese Africans. The book's conclusion focuses
on compassion-motivated practices that represent a counter-force to
government-sponsored strategies of systemic humiliation. These are
practices for building peace by professionals and non-professionals
as a positive response to protracted violence. This book will be of
much interest to students of peace and conflict studies, sociology,
psychology, ethics, philosophy and international relations.
