- Summary:
- What causes governments to commit mass atrocities--including genocide--during times of civil war? Gary Uzonyi tackles this discomforting question, focusing on uncertainty as a key factor in the escalation of political violence. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, Uzonyi's argument bridges the gap between rationalist and more traditional explanations. The result is an innovative approach that suggests a promising path toward preventing the occurrence of state-sponsored domestic barbarity.
