  • POL 345: Political Mass Murder

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    Although the 20th is known as the century of total war, scholars who have investigated say that far more people were killed by their own governments than by foreign enemies in wars. Such terms as holocaust, genocide, Gulag, Great Leap Forward, and ethnic cleansing denote prominent events of our age. The course examines and compares selected major cases of mass political murder, including the Jewish Holocaust, great state induced famines under Stalin and Mao, the killing fields of Cambodia, genocide in Rwanda and Sudan, and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia. It considers how outside powers, especially the US and UN, have responded: when they intervene and how effectively; when and why they refrain from acting; and whether moral principles or international law permit or oblige other states to intervene.
