Prevention and Intervention of Genocide: An Annotated Bibliography Book

The Prevention and Intervention of Genocide: An Annotated Bibliography is comprised of over 2,300 annotations on a wide array of issues and topics germane to the subject of preventing the atrocities of genocide and managing these conflicts when they do arise. Totten brings together in one comprehensive collection the research and findings in various fields, such as political science, sociology, history, and psychology, to enable specialists in genocide studies, peace studies, and conflict resolution to benefit from the insights of a diverse range of scholars and to foster an understanding and appreciation of how the various components of genocide studies connect. Among the topics included are: key conventions, international treaties, and covenants; genocide early warning signals and forecasting; risk data bases; sanctions; peacekeeping missions; intervention; conflict resolution; genocide early-warning systems and monitoring; ad hoc tribunals; the International Criminal Court; realpolitik vis-a-vis the issue of genocide prevention and intervention; key non-governmental agencies; and key governmental and U.N. bodies working on these important issues. In addition to the annotations, Totten frames the bibliography with a major essay that introduces the reader to the subject of prevention and intervention of genocide, raising a host of critical issues regarding the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of various approaches germane to issues of managing these conflicts.Read More
