This work seeks to address two closely related questions, what is
the process by which the relatively short and violent genocides of
the twentieth century and beyond have occurred and why have these
instances of mass violence been genocidal and not some other form
of state violence, repression, or conflict? Hiebert seeks to answer
these questions by exploring the structures and processes that
underpin the decision by political elites to commit genocide,
focusing on a sustained comparison of two cases, the Nazi ' Final
Solution' and the Cambodian genocide. The work seeks to clearly
differentiate the structures and processes, contained within a
larger overall process, that leads to genocidal violence. Hiebert
uncovers the mechanisms by which societies, at least in the
contemporary era, come to experience genocide as a distinct form of
destruction and not some other form of mass or political violence,
allowing the author to seek to highlight a set of key process that
leads to specifically genocidal violence.Providing an insightful
contribution to the burgeoning literature in the area, this work
will be of interest to students and scholars of genocide,
international relations and political violence.
