The UN outlawed genocide in 1948, and the United States launched a
war on terror in 2001; yet still today, neither genocide nor
terrorism shows any sign of abating. This book explains why those
efforts have fallen short and identifies policies that can prevent
such carnage. The key is getting the causation analysis right.
Conventional wisdom emphasizes ancient hatreds, poverty, and the
impact of Western colonialism as drivers of mass violence. But far
more important is the inciting power of mass, ideological hate
propaganda: this is what activates the drive to commit mass
atrocities and creates the multitude of perpetrators needed to
conduct a genocide or sustain a terror campaign. A secondary causal
factor is illiberal, dualistic political culture: this is the
breeding ground for the extremist, "us-vs-them" ideologies that
always precipitate episodes of mass hate incitement. A two-tiered
policy response naturally follows from this analysis: in the short
term, several targeted interventions to curtail outbreaks of such
incitement; and in the long term, support for indigenous agents of
liberalization in venues most at risk for ideologically-driven
violence.
