Abstract

Staub's article (this issue) provides a broad, useful conceptual framework for under- standing genocide and mass killing and for guiding work on prevention. To increase the comprehensiveness of the framework, this article discusses the importance of differentiating between different kinds of intergroup violence and the role of regional factors, refugee issues, youth militarization, environmental issues, and fear-motivated violence. It also discusses sources of international passivity in situations of genocide and the need for culturally grounded, systemic interventions that help to build peace in a holistic manner.
