Emotions, DEcision-making anD mass atrocitiEs This innovative book punches well above its size, weight, and length. Olusanya offers a panoramic survey of the emotions in prompting, industrializing, coping with and, ultimately, transcending mass atrocity. Olusanya reminds us that perpetrators of mass atrocity, however ugly, still remain human. For Arendt, evil may be banal but for Olusanya this banality is the result of cognitive dissonance. This exciting book is bound to cause sparks, open debates, and refresh the field. mark a. Drumbl, transnational Law institute Washington and Lee University, Usa This is an insightful study that combines psychological and social theories to further our understanding of the dynamics of mass atrocities. Scholarly, cogent, and clear, the author brings to the fore the importance of emotions in criminal behaviour, and offers an original contribution to the study of mass violence. majid Yar, University of Hull, Uk In memory of my father, Ambassador (Professor) Gabriel Olakunle Olusanya (1936–2012) Emotions, Decision-Making and Mass Atrocities Through the Lens of the Macro-Micro Integrated Theoretical Model oLaoLUWa oLUsanYa Aberystwyth University, UK © olaoluwa olusanya 2014 all rights reserved. no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without the prior permission of the publisher. olaoluwa olusanya has asserted his right under the copyright, Designs and Patents act, 1988, to be identified as the author of this work.
