PSC 341 - Genocide

Course Units: 1
(Fall; Lobe) Genocide is humanity’s greatest and most enduring scourge. After the horrific Holocaust, the world’s leaders cried out, “Never Again.” Sadly, genocide has occurred, again and again, wherein mass murders, ethnic cleansing, mass rape and pillaging, has taken place in countless places and times since World War II. This course examines examples, causes and motives, position of the perpetrators, victims and bystanders. We shall also look at proposals for avoiding or preventing genocide, perhaps through some form of international humanitarian intervention, or “responsibility to protect.”
