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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745687067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745687063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Martin Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059621982463,"sku":"9780745687063","price":72.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57cf4445-dc19-4203-a71c-6c2759cb9219.jpg?v=1685059339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-genocide-martin-shaw-9780745687063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
