Conclusion: Tracking Trends and Projecting an International Order of Human Dignity"ReviewsKielsgard (City Univ. of Hong Kong) offers a compelling discussion of the role politics plays in the possibility of preventing genocide...The beginning traces the evolution of the law on genocide and the politics of its development. The second section of the book essentially discusses several theories of genocide highlighting the elements that lead to genocide. When these elements are identified, Kielsgard argues, prevention could be possible if the political will exists.
