Reviews for Genocide and International Relations: Changing Patterns in the Transitions of the Late Modern World
'A pioneer scholar of globalization and contemporary warfare, Martin Shaw now focuses his sharp eye on international relations and genocide. This book's marrying of these fields challenges both theorists and historians to rethink the categories and temporalities of their analysis. It is an important innovation.' A. Dirk Moses, European University Institute, Florence
