"Teaching Genocide" published on by Oxford University Press.

Takes the Kosovo crisis & NATO's intervention to describe a four-part model that bears on the problem of protecting against genocide. The model focuses on the need to (1) strengthen key actors; (2) articulate a visionary, convincing, & effective policy of prudent genocide prevention; (3) make a policy of carefully targeted & effective sanctions; & (4) develop & implement a sound philosophy of just humanitarian intervention. These facets are discussed in detail, bearing in mind that the collective responsibility to intervene outweighs considerations of sovereignty in cases of genocide. It is hoped that the model serves as an example of the role that political scientists & other scholars can play in supporting efforts to prevent genocide. J. Zendejas

It is contended that economic scarcity produces several deleterious effects on societies plagued by lack of resources including the genocide of individuals most affected by scarcity, the intensification of direct conflict for resources, the collapse of states, & the fragmentation of societies. Further, material scarcity in pluralist societies with an authoritarian regime being challenged by a group perceived as inferior is viewed as a condition ripe for genocide. Various recommendations for reducing scarcity (eg, the adoption of power sharing between inequitable groups) & reforming political systems & other institutions (eg, the creation of a permanent international tribunal) are offered to reduce the prospects for genocide in the future. In addition, nations are urged to redefine their definition of national interests to include the deterrence of genocide. J. W. Parker
