The 20th century witnessed a great number of genocides carried out by regimes with different ideological orientations in all parts of the world. These acts of mass murder targeted political enemies as well as specific ethnic and religious groups and other ¿undesirables¿. Much academic work has been done in order to illuminate how, why, and when genocide is perpetrated. The objective of the course is to introduce students to relevant approaches and theories for the study of genocide. By the end of the semester the students will have acquired conceptual, analytical and theoretical tools to understand the phenomenon in various contexts, and will be familiarized with some of the most important cases of genocide in the 20th century. One case of genocide in the 19th century and one in the 21st century will also be analyzed.
