In a thorough account of the idea's history, Shaw considers its origins and development and its relationships to concepts like ethnic cleansing and politicide. Offering a radical critique of the existing literature on genocide, he argues that what distinguishes genocide from more legitimate warfare is that the 'enemies' targeted are groups and individuals of a civilian character. He vividly illustrates his argument with a wide range of historical examples - from the Holocaust to Rwanda and Palestine to Yugoslavia - and shows how the question 'What is genocide?' matters politically whenever populations are threatened by violence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003esecond edition\u003c\/i\u003e of this compelling book will continue to spark interest and vigorous debate, appealing to students and scholars across the social sciences and in international law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Shaw\u003c\/b\u003e is a historical sociologist of global politics, war and genocide and the author War and Genocide and Genocide and International Relations.
