Reviews

In The Politics of Genocide, Jeffrey S. Bachman conducts an unsparing analysis of the United Nations (UN) Genocide Convention's formulation in 1947-48 and subsequent selective application by the permanent members of the UN Security Council. Decrying the orchestrated 'culture of impunity for genocide, ' this book is a necessary corrective to the view that the Genocide Convention has humanized world politics. --Dirk Moses author of The Problems of Genocide


"A rigorous and revisionist study of how framings of genocide, and applications of the relevant international law, granted effective impunity to the world's most powerful state actors -- and still do. Bachman's book is readable and accessible. It serves as an excellent complement and counterweight to standard treatments of this vital subject.--Adam Jones ""author of Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction"" ""In The Politics of Genocide, Jeffrey S.
