Comparative Genocide

Comparative genocide is the study of different genocides to understand common patterns, causes, and effects across events. It involves analyzing how and why mass killings occur, the social, political, and economic factors involved, and how such atrocities are carried out and remembered. By comparing events like the Holocaust, Rwandan genocide, or Armenian genocide, researchers aim to identify recurring themes and warning signs, helping prevent future atrocities and informing policies for protection and justice. It offers a broader understanding of genocide as a global phenomenon rather than isolated incidents.
