This book offers a different approach to the structural prevention
of mass atrocities. It investigates the conditions that enable
vulnerable countries to prevent the perpetration of such violence.
Structural prevention is commonly framed as the identifying and
ameliorating of the 'root causes' of violent conflict, a process
which typically involves international actors determining what
these root causes are, and what the best courses of action are to
deal with them. This overlooks why mass atrocities do not occur in
countries that contain the presence of root causes. In fact, very
little research has been conducted on what the causes of peace and
stability are, particularly in relatively countries located in
regions marred by civil war and mass atrocities. To better
understand how such vulnerable countries prevent the commission of
mass atrocities, this book proposes an analytical framework which
enables not only an understanding of risk which arises from the
presence of root causes, but also of the factors that build
resilience in countries, and consequently mitigate and manage such
risk. Using this framework, three countries - Botswana, Zambia and
Tanzania, are analysed to account for their long term stability
despite their location in neighbourhoods characterised by decades
of civil war, ethnic repression and mass atrocities. This work is a
significant contribution to the field of genocide studies and
crimes against humanity and will be of interest to students and
scholars alike.
