Reviews
This volume builds a useful bridge between the worlds of mass atrocities and economic theory by presenting a comprehensive, systematic and easily-digestible analysis of key drivers, sustainers and consequences. Economic Aspects of Genocides, Other Mass Atrocities, and Their Prevention unveils six dimensions of interactivity (namely: choice, economic conditions, real economy, wealth appropriation, business organization and socio-economic fundamentals), which are expertly woven throughout the publication. These pillars are both illuminating and instructive for scholars and practitioners, who are continually challenged to grapple with the complex theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the economics-mass atrocities nexus, while also gleaning keen policy insights for prevention and post-disaster reconstruction. This book is a must-read for all who are seeking to better understand these complex dynamics and work towards solutions that are effective and enduring! -- Raymond Gilpin, Dean of the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in Washington D.C. and former Director for Economics and Associate Vice President at the United States Institute for Peace

The presentation is systematically comprehensive and engages a great mass of data, critical thinking, and great reflections.
