This course analyses the causes and consequences of genocide. Specific cases of genocide and near-genocide, including the Holocaust, will be studied along with issues such as perpetrator profiles, commemoration, and genocide prevention. Definitions of genocide, methodology and theories of the phenomena of genocide will be discussed. It will offer both a theoretical framework and a more practical approach, particularly from the perspective of international relations.
