The Bosnian Serb police and negative peace in Dayton Bosnia. 520 "Between April 1992 and December 1995, more than 100,000 people were killed in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The terrible atrocities committed in this period have been much discussed and studied and many prosecuted as acts of genocide or war crimes. But so far, the academic scholarship has focused on the role of the military in these events. This has come at the expense of considering the police's role, which Nielsen here demonstrates as crucial. Nielsen traces the origins of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the police and associated paramilitary groups. Nielsen makes this ground-breaking case by drawing on a host of confidential archival sources, academic research and practical experience as a widely cited expert witness in the most notorious of the war crimes tribunals. His innovative new history sheds light on wider issues regarding the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Balkan wars and the region today"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Yugoslav War, 1991-1995 |xAtrocities |zBosnia and Herzegovina. 650 0 Genocide |zBosnia and Herzegovina. 650 0 Police brutality |zBosnia and Herzegovina |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Paramilitary forces |zBosnia and Herzegovina |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Atrocities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 Genocide. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00940208 650 7 Paramilitary forces. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01052998 650 7 Police brutality. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01068571 651 7 Bosnia and Herzegovina. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01212749 647 7 Yugoslav War |d(1991-1995) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01183774 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Nielsen, Christian Axboe, 1973- |tMass atrocities and the police |dLondon ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2022 |z9781350204560 |w(DLC) 2022013883 852 0 |bscstacks |hDR1313.7.A85 |iN555 2022
