"The editors do an excellent job of locating materials regarding certain painful spheres in one place for easier access to readings, reflections, and directions for the future. This book is a must read for all who seek to better understand these complex dynamics and work toward solutions...Recommended."--CHOICE

"Besides writing, jointly or separately, several keystone chapters that provide perspective and coherence to the whole collection, the editors clearly worked hard on planning the overall design and reviewing the individual papers to minimize straying."--Journal of Economic Literature

"The contributors interweave the human experiences of mass atrocities, genocides, and other aspects of crime with economic theory. The presentation is systematically comprehensive and engages a great mass of data, critical thinking, and great reflections. The editors do an excellent job of locating materials regarding certain painful spheres in one place for easier access to readings, reflections, and directions for the future. This book is a must read for all who seek to better understand these complex dynamics and work toward solutions." -- CHOICE

"This volume builds a useful bridge between the worlds of mass atrocities and economic theory by presenting a comprehensive, systematic and easily-digestible analysis of key drivers, sustainers and consequences. Economic Aspects of Genocides, Other Mass Atrocities, and Their Prevention unveils six dimensions of interactivity (namely: choice, economic conditions, real economy, wealth appropriation, business organization and socio-economic fundamentals), which are expertly woven throughout the publication. These pillars are both illuminating and instructive for scholars and practitioners, who are continually challenged to grapple with the complex theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the economics-mass atrocities nexus, while also gleaning keen policy insights for prevention and post-disaster reconstruction. This book is a must-read for all who are seeking to better understand these complex dynamics and work towards solutions that are effective and enduring!"
